IInkTablet interface
Represents the digitizer device of Tablet PC that receives tablet device messages or events.
Members
The IInkTablet interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IInkTablet also has these types of members:
Methods
The IInkTablet interface has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| GetPropertyMetrics |
Returns the metrics data for a known property. |
| IsPacketPropertySupported |
Determines whether a property of a tablet device, identified with a globally unique identifier (GUID), is supported. |
Properties
The IInkTablet interface has these properties.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
Gets a value from the TabletHardwareCapabilities enumeration that defines the hardware capabilities of the IInkTablet object. | |
|
Gets the maximum input rectangle, in tablet device coordinates that the IInkTablet object supports. | |
|
Gets the name of the IInkTablet object. | |
|
Gets a string representation of the Plug and Play identifier of the IInkTablet object. |
Remarks
You can use the IInkTablet object to determine the hardware capabilities of the tablet device. A Tablet PC may have more than one digitizer attached in addition to the built-in digitizer.
IInkTablet objects work closely with ink collector objects. An ink collector (InkCollector, InkOverlay, or InkPicture) can be set to one of two tablet-related modes:
- All tablets mode
- Single tablet integrated mode
The default mode is all tablets mode (set with the SetAllTabletsMode method of the ink collector). This mode integrates all tablet devices if multiple devices are attached to the Tablet PC. Because all of the tablets are integrated, available cursors can be used on any of the tablet devices, and each tablet maps to the entire screen. This allows automatic updating of the windows.
If you define a class that implements this interface, the new class will not interact correctly with the Tablet PC application programming interfaces (APIs).
