Displaying Ink as Ink

Description of displaying ink as ink for the Tablet PC.

The default behavior for the InkEdit control is to recognize and convert ink into text after a brief timeout has expired. Because the control is a superclass of RichEdit Leave Site, it is also possible to embed and display ink within the control. Each word is inserted into the control as an Ink object. The Ink object contains the ink and its recognition alternates.

When inserted, the ink is scaled to the current font size and other ambient properties, such as italics or bold, are applied. If the user chooses to edit the text of an Ink object, they must first convert the ink to text.

Note: All ink and alternate data is lost during the conversion.

This feature is available only on computers that have Microsoft® Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition installed.
