Namespace:  Microsoft.Ink
Assembly:  Microsoft.Ink (in Microsoft.Ink.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property AttachedControl As Control
'Usage
Dim instance As InkCollector 
Dim value As Control 

value = instance.AttachedControl

instance.AttachedControl = value
public Control AttachedControl { get; set; }
public:
property Control^ AttachedControl {
    Control^ get ();
    void set (Control^ value);
}
public function get AttachedControl () : Control 
public function set AttachedControl (value : Control)

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Forms.Control
The control to which the InkCollector object is attached.

Value

Meaning

nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic)

The InkCollector object is not attached to a control.

System.Windows.Forms.Control

The control to which the InkCollector object is attached.

Remarks

The AttachedControl or Handle property must be set before the InkCollector object can be enabled.

If the InkCollector object is attached to a window handle, setting this property attaches the InkCollector to a control and clears the Handle property.

Note

The InkCollector must be disabled before setting this property. To disable the InkCollector, set the Enabled property to false. You can then set this property and re-enable the object by setting the Enabled property to true.

If you use the AttachedControl property and the Handle property in your application, you will get a security exception when you run the application in the Internet zone. This is because the Handle property is not valid in the partial trust environment of the Internet zone, so the Tablet PC operating system reverts to the AttachedControl property.

Examples

In this example, the AttachedControl property is used to invalidate the control that is used by the InkCollector object.

' Note: mInkCollector was instantiated via: new InkCollector(control) 
' not via: new InkCollector(control.Handle) - this .ctor does not set AttachedControl
mInkCollector.AttachedControl.Invalidate()
// Note: mInkCollector was instantiated via: new InkCollector(control) 
// not via: new InkCollector(control.Handle) - this .ctor does not set AttachedControl
mInkCollector.AttachedControl.Invalidate();
