Rick is correct – IE did not have any support for pen input in Windows 7.

Ted might be able to tell you.

Generally for the past year or so this group has been looking here only at Edge and current versions of Windows 10.  IIRC IE 11 on Win7 doesn't even support touch screens, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was no real support for stylus features.

Hi –

Does anybody know if HTML5 Pointer Events has ever been able to grab real pen data (including pressure) on the Windows 7 IE 11 implementation of PE?  I don’t see any evidence that such data is supported on Win7.

If this is not the appropriate forum for asking this  question, please let me know where such a question could be asked.

Thanks very much.
