Abstract
The electronic devices described herein are configured to enhance user experience associated with using a pen on the touchscreens of the electronic devices. Proximity and/or approach of a pen is detected and, when the pen is close enough, the operating system triggers a pen event, which is communicated to applications running on the electronic devices. The applications may handle the pen event by redrawing a user interface to accommodate the incoming pen input in a smooth, seamless way. Further, pen-compatible interface controls may be provided by the operating system to enhance pen use with applications that may not have the necessary functionality.
