using Microsoft.Ink;
//. . .
public string CursorReport(InkCollector theInkCollector)
{
    string theReport = "The InkCollector has encountered the following cursors so far:" + Environment.NewLine;
    // Get the Cursors collection from the InkCollector
    Microsoft.Ink.Cursors theCursors = theInkCollector.Cursors;
    // Prevent changes to the collection while we iterate over it.
    lock( theCursors.SyncRoot )
    {
        theReport += "Count of cursors: " + theCursors.Count + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
        foreach (Microsoft.Ink.Cursor cursor in theCursors)
        {
            theReport += "Cursor Name: " + cursor.Name + Environment.NewLine;
            theReport += "Cursor ToString: " + cursor.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
            theReport += "Tablet Name: " + cursor.Tablet.Name  + Environment.NewLine;
            theReport += "Cursor Id: " + cursor.Id.ToString()  + Environment.NewLine;
            theReport += "Cursor is inverted: " + cursor.Inverted.ToString()  + Environment.NewLine;
            theReport += "Cursor Buttons:" + Environment.NewLine;
            foreach (CursorButton button in cursor.Buttons)
            {
                CursorButtonState theState = button.State;
                theReport += "    Button Name: " + button.Name + Environment.NewLine;
                theReport += "    State: " + button.State.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
                theReport += "    Id: " + button.Id.ToString()  + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
            }
        }
    }
    return theReport;
