Using MouseX, MouseY with Wacom tablet

I have a Wacom tablet. I am trying to use MouseX with DirectX.

When the tablet is in "Mouse" mode everything works fine. However when I put the tablet in "Pen" mode MouseX and MouseY go haywire.

Anybody seen this before. My guess is that MouseX and MouseY do not support tablets in pen mode or need special functions.

Use the desktop x and desktop y position of the mouse instead.

I ended up using Windows calls instead of Direct X calls. I used a full screen window with no title bars. Windows calls worked like a charm.

You need to use the wacom sdk... that's the only way you'll support pen pressure, tilt, and gathering packets from the tablet itself (well, you gather from the driver actually...)

And by only way I mean "best real way" using wrappers or work-around solutions is not an option in the real world
