accommodate any Microsoft Windows CE. 4.2 supported card.

Using the stylus

The stylus is the pen-like object that came with your MidasPAD. The stylus is what you use to interface with the screen much in the same way you use a mouse to interface with your desktop PC. The important difference is that when you use your stylus you actually touch the screen.

We recommend you only use the stylus with your touch screen. Fingers or other objects may damage your screen. Use your stylus to interact with programs and the Windows CE 4.2 .NET operating system. Also, you can use the stylus to input text by handwriting your material.

Refer to the table below to see the mouse-equivalent stylus actions.
