IInkCollector::get_CollectingInk method (msinkaut.h)

Gets a value that specifies whether ink is currently being drawn on an ink collector (InkCollector, InkOverlay, or InkPicture).

This property is read-only.

Syntax

HRESULT get_CollectingInk(
  VARIANT_BOOL *Collecting
);

Parameters

Collecting

Return value

None

Remarks

You can use the CollectingInk property to see if ink is being drawn on an ink collector rather than monitoring the Stroke event.

Note  Because ink collection is happening on a different thread than your application code, it is possible that the CollectingInk property can change soon after you have checked it. Thus, your code may be operating under the assumption that the ink collector is not collecting ink, when in fact it is. If this occurs, an error is thrown. To be safe, put such code in a try-catch block.
