InkCollector.InkCollector Constructor

Initializes a new instance of the InkCollector class that is not yet associated with a window.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public Sub InkCollector()
C# public InkCollector();
Managed C++ public: InkCollector();

Remarks

Before collecting ink, an application must associate a window handle with the InkCollector object. To create an InkCollector object with an associated window handle, call the InkCollector(IntPtr) constructor.

In addition to the pen, the mouse can be used for input.

        this.Text = "Minimum Ink Application";

        // Create and enable theInkCollector.
