Examples

In this example, we disable the handwriting view by setting the IsHandwritingViewEnabled ​property of the RichEditBox control to false. All text controls that support the handwriting view support a similar property. ​

<RichEditBox Name="NoHandwritingRichEditBox" 
    Width="680"
    FontSize="24" 
    VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Center" 
    IsHandwritingViewEnabled="False">​
    PlaceholderText="Handwriting view not supported">
</RichEditBox>

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.
