VFP 9.0 requires hosting the Tablet PC SDK ActiveX controls for digital ink, just like in VFP 8.0. In the VFP 9.0 what's new in language reference:

Tablet PC Features
The following features are available to assist with applications designed to run on a Tablet PC computer.

ISPEN( ) - determines if the last Visual FoxPro application mouse event on a Tablet PC was a pen tap.


_SCREEN.DisplayOrientation - this read-write property specifies the screen display orientation for a Tablet PC. The value returned is the current orientation.


_TOOLTIPTIMEOUT - specifies how long a ToolTip is displayed if the mouse pointer is left stationary.


For more information, see ISPEN( ) Function, DisplayOrientation Property, and _TOOLTIPTIMEOUT System Variable.
