Example

[Visual Basic 6.0]

This Visual Basic 6.0 example shows a button click event handler for a form that has a PenInputPanel object attached to one of its controls. Before processing the button click, the handler checks to see if the PenInputPanel is busy processing ink. If so, it calls the CommitPendingInput method to force the PenInputPanel to complete its processing before proceeding.

Private Sub Button1_Click()
    ' If the PenInputPanel is still processing ink...
    If thePenInputPanel.Busy Then
        ' Force the PenInputPanel to commit user input
        thePenInputPanel.CommitPendingInput
    End If

    ' Process the button click
    '...

End Sub
