Example

[Visual Basic 6.0]

This Visual Basic 6.0 example creates a PenInputPanel object, thePenInputPanel, and attaches it to an InkEdit control, InkEdit1. It then attaches a VisibleChanged event handler, thePenInputPanel_VisibleChanged. In the event handler, it adds a sentence to the content of the edit control to which the PenInputPanel is attached. The sentence is only displayed if the Visible property is set to True.

' Declare a new PenInputPanel object
Dim WithEvents thePenInputPanel As PenInputPanel

Private Sub Form_Load()
  ' Create the PenInputPanel
  Set thePenInputPanel = New PenInputPanel

  ' Attach the PenInputPanel to an InkEdit control
  thePenInputPanel.AttachedEditWindow = InkEdit1.hWnd
End Sub

Private Sub thePenInputPanel_VisibleChanged(ByVal NewVisibility As Boolean)
  ' If the panel has become visible...
  If thePenInputPanel.Visible Then
    InkEdit1.Text = "The panel is visible."
  End If
End Sub
