Thank for your reply. I had notice that Photoshop can get the pressure strength from some touch pad. So I try to find which way Adobe used to implement it. But I found nothing. I guess that is a standard of Adobe. So I will try to develop my application by the API provided from vendor. Thanks again!

I don't think such a thing is possible. A mouse button can either be in a depressed or a released state (same with a touch pad buttons, and clicks generated by touching somewhere on the touch area). Generally, there's no way to find out how "hard" a button was pressed.
If a device is sensitive to such data, and is exposing APIs to capture that information, then that would be a different story. However, it is not the case with regular mouse and touch pad devices.

Touch screen devices usually report the touch pressure.

Agree, however these shouldn't be any inbuilt functionality in the windows for same!

Wrong. If you can provide an API link on MSDN to support your theory, I'll be happy to read it.
The need for applying "pressure" comes from using a touch screen that is based on resistive touch technology. In this case, the pressure applied will bring two different electrical layers together at one point, and when they touch, there's a change in the electrical current there, which is registered as a "touch". No matter how hard or gently you touch, the event is going to be either touched, or not. There's no way to measure the pressure.
If I were to use a capacitative touch screen, it works based on the weak electric signals emitted from the skin. Now, where is the pressure on that?

Pressure is computed, see, for instance http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/AD7877.pdf[^], "TOUCH-PRESSURE MEASUREMENT" section.

That is for devices manufactured by a certain company. I indicated in my first post that such things are possible if the manufacturer has implemented such a feature and is exposing APIs to capture those details. However, that would be an edge case.
But most devices are simpler, and Windows certainly does not provide you features to measure "touch pressure".
Again, I'll ONLY accept an API from MSDN that tells me what the touch pressure was when a touch event happens.

Of course, it is. The OP asked a question that is more general (and not specific to devices built by the analog.com company).

Have you checked if the vendor provides a library to access touch screen functionalities?

cpallini's correct... this type of information would only come from software provided by the vendor and will be vendor specific... meaning one vendor's libraries or API calls will not work with anothers

Well, that's the same thing I said as well in my reply to the OP. And, that would be the only possibility.

AFAIK and i too agree with rajesh, there is no such api's in windows.. but might be your touch screen vendor may be providing these type of library if your client are intrested in same type of functionality

Hi. I have been reading articles, messages and anything I can find but I still
cannot get a DIBSection to work. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or point
me to an article that explains how to use one.
This code as written works,it paints the window red. But when I use the two commented lines instead of CreateCompatibleBitmap I get nothing. The handle returned by CreateDIBSection seems wrong, when I hover the mouse over it debug says it is unused.
Any help at all would be great. Thanks in advance.
void CChildView::OnDibtstTest(){
CRect r;
GetClientRect(&r);
BITMAPINFO *pbmInfo = new BITMAPINFO;
memset(pbmInfo,0,sizeof(BITMAPINFO));
pbmInfo->bmiHeader.biSize=sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
pbmInfo->bmiHeader.biWidth=r.right;
pbmInfo->bmiHeader.biHeight=r.bottom;
pbmInfo->bmiHeader.biPlanes=1;
pbmInfo->bmiHeader.biBitCount=32;
pbmInfo->bmiHeader.biSizeImage=r.right*r.bottom*4;
void *pImg;
CDC *pDc=GetDC();
CDC *pmDc = new CDC;
pmDc->CreateCompatibleDC(pDc);
CBitmap *pcBm = new CBitmap;
// HBITMAP hBm = CreateDIBSection(pDc->m_hDC,pbmInfo,DIB_RGB_COLORS,&pImg,NULL,0);
// pcBm->FromHandle(hBm);
pcBm->CreateCompatibleBitmap(pDc,r.right,r.bottom);
pmDc->SelectObject(pcBm);
CBrush br(RGB(255,0,0));
pmDc->SelectObject(&br);
pmDc->Rectangle(0,0,r.right,r.bottom);
pDc->BitBlt(0,0,r.right,r.bottom,pmDc,0,0,SRCCOPY);
delete pbmInfo;
delete pmDc;
delete pcBm;
}

i believe this does not do what you think it does. Try with
pcBm->Attach(hBm);
