Web Controls

Description of using ink-enabled Web controls.

One way to create ink-enabled Web applications is to put controls inside a Web page within Microsoft® Internet Explorer. A good tutorial on this technique can be found at Using Windows Forms Controls in Internet Explorer . The basic steps are:

1. Create a control that inherits from UserControl .
2. Create an HTML page with an object tag that refers to that UserControl .
3. Create a virtual directory and set permissions.
4. Load the URL of the HTML page into the browser.

This technique can be applied to ink-enabled controls, just like any other  UserControl . In the samples provided by the Microsoft Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition Software Development Kit (SDK), you will find a Web control version of the Auto Claims sample. (It's in the Ink Web Samples section.) This example takes the original Auto Claims sample and turns it into a control that is put on a web page. See the Ink Web Control Sample for more information.

Note: Deploying an application over the Web will result in security considerations being applied. These are described in Security And Trust.
