InkPicture.SetAllTabletsMode Method

Sets the InkPicture control to collect ink from any tablet attached to the Tablet PC.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public Sub SetAllTabletsMode( _
ByVal useMouseForInput As Boolean _
)
C# public void SetAllTabletsMode(
bool useMouseForInput
);
Managed C++ public: void SetAllTabletsMode(
bool *useMouseForInput
);

Parameters

> > >
useMouseForInput System.Boolean. The Boolean value that indicates whether to use the mouse as an input device.

true In addition to the pen, the mouse is used for input.
false The mouse cannot be used for input.

Exceptions

COMException Leave Site:
ObjectDisposedException Leave Site: The InkPicture control is disposed.

Remarks

This is the default mode for an InkPicture control. To allow the InkPicture control to collect ink from only one tablet, call the SetSingleTabletIntegratedMode method.

Note: The InkPicture control must be disabled before calling this method. To disable the InkPicture control, set the InkEnabled property to false. After calling the SetAllTabletsMode method, enable the InkPicture control by setting the InkEnabled property to true.

When an InkPicture control switches from collecting ink by using a single tablet to collecting ink by using all tablets, the Cursors property is set to the empty collection.

Note: If the SetAllTabletsMode method is called with the useMouseForInput parameter set to true (or no parameters), then the mouse is used as an input device. If the SetAllTabletsMode method is then called with the useMouseForInput parameter set to false, the mouse is not removed from the Cursors property.

Examples

[C#]

This C# example calls SetAllTabletsMode on a new InkPicture control, theInkCollector, with the useMouseForInput parameter set to false if more than one tablet is available.

using Microsoft.Ink;
// . . .
Tablets theTablets = new Tablets();
InkPicture theInkPicture = new InkPicture();
if (theTablets.Count > 1)
    theInkPicture.SetAllTabletsMode(false);
else
    theInkPicture.SetAllTabletsMode();

[VB.NET]

Imports Microsoft.Ink
' . . .
Dim theTablets As New Tablets()
Dim theInkPicture As New InkPicture()
If theTablets.Count > 1 Then
