Instantiating the PenInputPanel Class

[PenInputPanel has been replaced by Microsoft.Ink.TextInput. Please refer to the Programming the Text Input Panel.]

You can instantiate multiple PenInputPanel objects, attaching one to each control on a form, or you can instantiate one PenInputPanel object and move it between controls in focus event handlers. Because only one edit control can have focus at a time, the second method can save memory. A version of the Auto Claims sample called the PenInputPanel Sample has been implemented showing both techniques.

The following sections describe creating and displaying PenInputPanel objects.

• Creating a PenInputPanel Object
• Using the PenInputPanel with Combo Boxes
• Displaying the Input Panel
