InkOverlay.InkOverlay Constructor

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

Definition

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

Remarks

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

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