Demonstrates

The Microsoft Tablet PC Platform SDK provides complete control over the visual style of drawn ink. Attributes include the obvious, such as the color and height and width of the pen tip, and the less obvious, such as transparency, raster operations, pressure sensitivity, and pen-tip shape. This sample demonstrates the most common way of manipulating these values, by setting the DefaultDrawingAttributes property of an InkOverlay object.

This sample requires that the following be installed:

  • Visual Studio

  • Tablet PC Platform SDK

  • Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005
