Examples
In this example, we disable the handwriting view by setting the IsHandwritingViewEnabled property of the TextBox control to false. All text controls that support the handwriting view support a similar property.
<TextBox Name="SampleTextBox"
Height="50" Width="500"
FontSize="36" FontFamily="Segoe UI"
PlaceholderText="Try taping with your pen"
IsHandwritingViewEnabled="False">
</TextBox>
Remarks
When a user taps into a text input box using a Windows pen, the text box transforms to let the user write directly into it with a pen, rather than opening a separate input panel.
