Return Value
Type: Microsoft.Ink.Ink
Returns an Ink object that contains the extracted Strokes collection.
Remarks
The new Ink object retains the drawing attributes, properties, and coordinates of the original Ink object.
The default behavior for this method is to remove the Strokes collection from the original Ink object. To preserve the Strokes collection in the original Ink object and make a copy of the Ink, call either the ExtractStrokes or ExtractStrokes overload of this method with the extractionFlags parameter set to the CopyFromOriginal value from the ExtractFlags enumeration.
Examples
In this example, a new Ink object is created that contains the entire Strokes collection from the InkOverlay object. All of the Stroke objects are removed from the original Ink object associated with the InkOverlay object.
Dim newInk As Ink = mInkOverlay.Ink.ExtractStrokes()
Ink newInk = mInkOverlay.Ink.ExtractStrokes();
