Property Value

IInkTablet Returns the default IInkTablet object within the set of available tablets.

This property is read-only.

Return Value

Remarks

The platform determines the default IInkTablet object in the following order:

• If the system has a digitizer integrated with the display device, this integrated digitizer is considered the default tablet, even if other digitizing tablets are installed.
• If more than one digitizing tablet is installed in the system, the first one encountered during initialization is considered the default tablet.
• If only one digitizing tablet is installed in the system, it is considered the default tablet.
• If no digitizing tablets are installed in the system but there are other pointing devices (such as a mouse or a touch pad) installed that generate mouse messages, those devices in aggregate are considered to be the default tablet.
• If no digitizing tablets and no pointing devices are installed in the system, no default tablet can be returned.

Example

[Visual Basic 6.0]

This Visual Basic 6.0 example returns a string that contains a report on the InkTablets collection, including the count of tablets, the name of the default tablet, and the tablets' supported properties.
