Will tool id, serial number, and tool type be supported here?<br>

Shouldn't each tool be a different pointing device? It at least needs to know which tool is being used when moving it, it can't be deferred until the first button is being pushed.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>

Are tablets capable of handling more than one tool at a time? If this is at all plausable I think they all have to be different pointers since otherwise there is no way to indicate which x/y position is which tool. Otherwise I guess a "tool changed" event would work.<br>

Application needs to "remember" which tool, such as air brush 1 vs air brush 2, matches with which setting so it can switch setting automatically when a specific tool is detected.<br>
