The name is defined by the manufacturer of the digitizer.

You can determine the state of a specific stylus button, and confirm its presence, when the plug-in receives the StylusButtonDown and StylusButtonUp notifications.

{
private RealTimeStylus rts;
private DynamicRenderer dr;
private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox textBox1;
public Form1()
{
rts = new RealTimeStylus(this);
dr = new DynamicRenderer(this);
rts.SyncPluginCollection.Add(dr);
rts.AsyncPluginCollection.Add(this);
rts.Enabled = true;
dr.Enabled = true;
InitializeComponent();

{
get{return DataInterestMask.AllStylusData;}

public void StylusButtonUp(RealTimeStylus sender, StylusButtonUpData data)
{
textBox1.AppendText(
string.Format("{0} button up: {1} ({2}){3}",
