ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a tablet pointer that enables the drag mode to be retained even when the operation surface of a tablet sheet is so narrow that the stylus press-held thereto needs to be temporarily lifted off. Switch data generating member provided in the tablet pointer produces switch data indicating the operating state of a mouse switch and device output data of the tablet pointer is fed to a personal computer as an output of an operation unique to the mouse, such as drag mode data. While in a keep-drag mode, the switch data generating member does not cancel the drag mode even if it is supplied with an ordinary drag cancel input. Hence, the drag mode can be retained even if it receives a drag mode cancel signal during the drag operation.
