PenInputPanel Class

The PenInputPanel object enables you to easily add in-place pen input to your applications.

The PenInputPanel object is available as an attachable object that allows you to add Tablet PC Input Panel functionality to existing controls. The user interface is largely mandated by the current input language. You have the option of choosing the default input method for the PenInputPanel object, either handwriting or keyboard. The end user can switch between input methods using buttons on the user interface.
