Update PanelWatch with 1.78 version
- Download PW178.ZIP (40K) (MD5: 0D6488E66817E1129332E4EDB1FCB1B5), follow instructions below.
- Instructions:
- Download ZIP, move / copy to My-T-Pen install folder (default \WINDOWS\MYTPEN)
- Verify the Tablet PC Input Panel interface is not enabled - From My-T-Pen Menu, select Advanced Features - if Tablet PC Input Panel selected (checkmark), select to disable the existing interface (no check mark)
- Unzip / Overwrite existing PNLWATCH.EXE & PWLIB.DLL from Updates (178) release
- Re-enable Tablet PC Input Panel interface - From My-T-Pen Menu, select Advanced Features | Tablet PC Input Panel
- Notes:
- PanelWatch is a utility that monitors the default Tablet PC interface and integrates My-T-Pen as a replacement for the Input Panel. This is ideal for situations where the capabilities of My-T-Pen are required
- Operation notes (TIP = Tablet PC Input Panel):
- My-T-Pen should be set to minimize as a button. The other minimize settings will work, but operation is not as smooth
- My-T-Pen should be dismissed by minimizing, or using the Exit button (there is no automatic dismissal)
- TIP Gesture will work, but not if dismissed by the TIP button on the task bar
- Positioning will be better if one of the two methods is used exclusively - e.g. the floating button (undocked state) method, or the TIP button (docked state) method
- Note that this will also work with Build-A-Board Layouts, but the PanelWatch utility must be run separately. Note that the manual approach will also work for both original & Build-A-Board layouts. Also, the Advanced Features | Tablet PC Input Panel option places a shortcut in the StartUp group for All Users, so it is automatically available. If using a Build-A-Board layout, and want this enabled at Startup, you will manually have to place the PanelWatch shortcut into the StartUp group for All Users (or the particular user/users)
- Run PanelWatch (PNLWATCH.EXE) directly to enable the Tablet PC Input Panel interface - while running, it will manage the interface. If you run PNLWATCH.EXE while it is already running, it will add an icon to the system tray (by the clock). From this icon, you can open a menu to Close PanelWatch
- Note that the Enabled Menu feature only affects certain aspects of PanelWatch. If PanelWatch is running, it is enabled. To disable it, it must be closed (i.e the process must not be running at all)
- To return to the default TIP, you must disable PanelWatch. This can be done from the My-T-Pen menu, or by running PanelWatch a second time (i.e while PanelWatch is already running), then clicking on the tray icon, and selecting close. My-T-Pen can be used while using default TIP, but the 2 windows should not overlap
- IMPORTANT: If applying this update, also refer to this update.
