IInkCursor::get_Inverted method (msinkaut.h)

Article
02/22/2024

Gets a value that indicates whether the cursor is the inverted end of the pen.

This property is read-only.

Syntax

HRESULT get_Inverted(
  VARIANT_BOOL *Status
);

Parameters

Status

Return value

None

Remarks

Inverted cursors are generally associated with erasing. A pen might have one end that is intended for drawing and another intended for erasing. For more information about erasing ink, see Erasing Ink with the Pen.

Whether or not you use the Inverted property is entirely up to the needs of your application. Applications are not required to inspect inverted cursors, and the ink collector applies default drawing attributes to inverted cursors just as it does to cursors that are not inverted.

Note Accessing this property within certain message handlers can result in the underlying function being re-entered, causing unexpected results. Take care to avoid a reentrant call when handling any of the following messages: WM_ACTIVATE, WM_ACTIVATEAPP, WM_NCACTIVATE, WM_PAINT; WM_SYSCOMMAND if wParam is set to SC_HOTKEY or SC_TASKLIST; and WM_SYSKEYDOWN (when processing Alt-Tab or Alt-Esc key combinations). This is an issue with single-threaded apartment model applications.
