Well, the premises is very simple, and I have two questions which may not be very simple:
1) Can I interface with the Wacom pointing device somehow and retrieve the Pressure data?
2) Can I, in reverse, simulate a Wacom pointing device and "click" with a certain pressure in a program, say, Photoshop?

I am simply trying to simulate a wacom tablet without the presence of one. Any help in this regards would be much appreciated :).

1) No idea, but the Wacom Windows Developer FAQ might be a good place to start.
2) Seems unlikely. PhotoShop probably queries the Wacom API, which probably can't be simulated. That said, I have neither a tablet nor experience developing (or automating) tablet-aware software.

Actually, I've read through the Wacom Dev docs, and seems like the only way to interface with it is via the Wintab API--and from what I can see, AHK cannot interface with Wintab (to my knowledge, but I'm not intimately familiar with AHK--this is where other's expertise can come in ;)).

Actually, to make things much more simple:
Can AHK interface with API's in general? If it's a no, then I'll just stop the wild goose chase right there.

See DllCall. Be warned: it is an advanced topic.

Could thishelp for 2 from the first posting?

I am also interested in the topic 2, together with recording the move movement path and saving them somehow, to be able to recall it easily. So a system which can snapshot and later recall e.g. 10 "mouse patch + wacom pen pressures" would be interesting.

For example you press ctrl-1 and draw something with your wacom pen using varying pressure on the pen, after releasing the pen this movement and strength variation is saved in "slot 1", then using e.g. alt-1 this preset "slot 1" is "played back" again in the same way.

Did anyone do this already for a simple pc mouse movement?
