How can I disable touch when using wacom?

I have a windows tablet, 8 which has a screen that supports multitouch interface AND wacom style tablet with wacom stylus touch BOTH.

I prefer to use the touchscreen interface for navigation normal etc etc, but when I'm ready to take notes in OneNote, I prefer out the wacom pen and take notes in my handwriting with the stylus.

The PROBLEM: because he has both touch and stylus, I can't comfortably use the stylus because my wrist or hand will touch the screen and disrupt the process.

The SOLUTION: In an ideal world, I would like to touch interface will be automatically disabled whenever the wacom pen is brought in proximity to the screen.   An acceptable alternative would be to automatically disable the touch interface when I bring OneNote (or any other specific application I name).  A worst case third alternative would be to create a shortcut (a tile or gesture) that would turn the touch interface.

(You know those moments when you type a lot and you lose everything you have entered? Yes, it just happened.)

Because I have no patience more more, I'll be a little more concise and less detailed.

I have a Lenovo X 220 Tablet with a multitouch Wacom tablet pen.

First, download the latest drivers from Wacom. I've always been able to use my stylus without worrying about touch because it disables the button when the pen is near the screen. But still, the proximity is not too far from a distance, so it is very easy for me to make stray marks with my hand while using OneNote.

To fix my problem - in other words, to disable multitouch (when I use OneNote) - I created a shortcut to disable (and another to activate) multitouch using devcon.

You can download devcon (x 64) and shortcuts here: http://uppit.com/wduku6xjgqot/Enable_Disable_Multitouch_Windows_8_x64.zip

-Go devcon.exe Windows\System32.

-Pass the two shortcuts to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu (to pin at the beginning)

-Disable your Human Interface Devices in Device Manager to find your multipoint touch device. Then open the properties of the appropriate device, go to events and copy the id/name of device (long and dark)

-Change the target of the shortcut; replace ' @[my device name] "with" @[name of your device] ".

There you go. When you use the shortcut to enable/disable, the command line will be open (you will need to give permission because it opens as admininstrator) and he confirms that the device is disabled/enabled.

  • How can I disable touch sounds?

    I've recently updated to Android 4.4.2 and now I touch ring ONLY when I type in Firefox version 31.0. Any other apps have touch sounds, and I have disabled system/touch sounds. How can I disable them for Firefox?

    Hi guigs2,

    Thank you for your help. I tried to switch the keyboard preferences several times, including with reboots. No change. I should add that the Tablet is an Asus transformer TF701T so I also confirmed that I had Google touch keyboard as default and not the Asus touchpad.

    Will [topic: support] took me in a "Troubleshooting" page, but saw no reset button. I decided to uninstall and reinstall.

    A very interesting thing that happened at that time here. As soon as I uninstalled Firefox, I started to have touch sounds in ALL my apps. Before uninstalling, I only received them in Firefox. I checked again and the system settings Touch sounds Android has been still on off and Google keyboard was always set by default. So why am I touch sounds?

    I went to re - install Firefox and got a prompt asking if I wanted to use the Asus keyboard or keyboard from Google. I chose Google keyboard (as I always have) and all THE sounds of touch stops immediately. For all applications.

    Not sure if it's an Asus, Android or Firefox glitch. But there you go. Fixed a problem.

    Best,

  • How can I disable smoothing when merging the flat layer (SNES) with a 3d object in Photoshop CC 2014?

    After doing a painting on a weapon to fire CS: go, I now need a part of the paint to be pixel perfect, but I can't seem to find a way to stop the automatic smoothing every time I merge the SNES with a 3D object.

    Before merger

    After merger

    I see that normal texture filtering. Looks like you have a fundamental misunderstanding here about the work how 3D - "pixel perfect" has no meaning for 3D from space UV textures is parametric and has in itself in the infinite theory resolution, therefore any texture may be inserted in this range and inevitably a single pixel in the texture can cover more than one pixel on the display or more than one mm square on a 3D object. If you want "sharp" textures, you increase the resolution of the texture, which, if you really want that pixely look would be doen using the nearest neighbor method. However, once you approach at some point you will see Fuzzy edges / pixel again. It is in the nature of the thing.

  • How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play?

    How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play? I tried to disable the driver, and nothing works.

    Hello

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
    and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I DISABLE the module "signature" when I want TO use an older add-on?

    I the MAGNIFICENT Add on 1 - ClickWeather and now has a message on the 'signature' module Now... I DON'T want to use a product of INFERIOR quality such as suggested in the name of the add - on.

    I would use the add-on that I already have on my Firefox, 1-ClickWeather. So, how can I disable the 'signature' on an individual add-on module? It is said to "Act with caution", but it does not show Me the details of my time. I reinstalled the add-on, but it does not yet record my position.

    Yes, I KNOW it is no longer supported, but has always worked until this past Saturday. It was abandoned several years ago but was kept alive by a single poster whose comments have disappeared. I have the add-on on my computer. I continued to update the continuous Firefox updates. Now, I want to again but there's this ridiculous thing on the module "signature" and «proceed with caution...» »

    You cannot delete the warning, but in 42 Firefox extension should always work.

    See:

     Firefox 40-42: Firefox warns about signatures but doesn't enforce them.
