Remarks

The object or control that a PenInputPanel object is attached to may, on occasion, be moved to a window with a new window handle. For example, you may update an application and change the window that an object or control is attached to. In cases such as this, if the AttachedEditControl property for that instance of the PenInputPanel object is set to the object or control, then the AttachedEditWindow property is updated automatically when the window handle of the attached control changes. If the AttachedEditControl property is not set, then you must update the window handle for the PenInputPanel object when the window handle for the attached object or control changes.

AttachedEditControl and AttachedEditWindow are independent properties. Setting one does not necessarily update the other. Use the property that you originally used to attach the PenInputPanel object to a control or window.

Examples
