InkCanvasEditingMode Enumeration

Specifies the editing mode for the InkCanvas

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
public enum InkCanvasEditingMode
<object property="enumerationMemberName" .../>
Member name Description
None Indicates that no action is taken when the pen sends data to the InkCanvas.
Ink Indicates that ink appears on the InkCanvas when the pen sends data to it.
GestureOnly Indicates that the InkCanvas responds to gestures, and does not receive ink.
InkAndGesture Indicates that the InkCanvas responds to gestures, and receives ink.
Select Indicates that the pen selects strokes and elements on the InkCanvas.
EraseByPoint Indicates that the pen erases part of a stroke when the pen intersects the stroke.
EraseByStroke Indicates that the pen erases an entire stroke when the pen intersects the stroke.

The EditingMode and EditingModeInverted properties use the InkCanvasEditingMode to specify how the InkCanvas behaves when it receives input from a tablet pen.

The following example demonstrates how to allow users to partially erase strokes with the inverted tip of a stylus. An elliptical cursor appears on the InkCanvas when the user erases ink.


inkCanvas1.EditingModeInverted = InkCanvasEditingMode.EraseByPoint;
inkCanvas1.EraserShape = new EllipseStylusShape(5, 5);
