Ink Interoperability

Description of ink interoperability.

Persistence and interoperability are two vitally important features, especially for applications that use ink. To enable persistence and interoperability of ink, an application must allow users to:

• Save and open their documents with full fidelity of ink data.
• Move data to and from other Microsoft® Windows®-based applications by using the Clipboard.

The following sections detail ink interoperability.

• Ink Data Formats
• Important Interoperability Scenarios
• Persistence Formats
• Choosing Which Formats to Support
• Building Blocks
• Storing Ink in HTML

This document assumes a detailed understanding of the Clipboard. For more information about the Clipboard, see the Clipboard documentation of the MSDN® Library.
