Ink on tablet running Windows XP Embedded

I've got a small-footprint tablet PC running Windows XP Embedded, and I would like to have the ability to write with the stylus and recognize text, using .Net framework 1.1. I've tried using the Microsoft.ink dll (part of the Tablet PC SDK 1.7) and using the inkEdit control, but the controls only show up as text boxes on the tablet, and so I can't write in ink.

Is it possible to write in ink on a tablet PC running Windows XP Embedded using the .Net framework?

Thanks,

Paul

It is indeed possible. In the Microsoft.Ink namespace use InkCollector instead of InkEdit. It will require an extra step but this control allows the stylus to be used as ink on non-Windows XP Tablet PC Edition tablets. Basically, you attach it to the handle of the control you want to write in (like a groupbox or a textbox), and then you will have to use some Recognizer classes. The article I referred to when creating my app is:

On the tablet that will run the application, first download and install "Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition Software Development Kit 1.7".

Next, download and install "Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 Recognizer Pack".

Then just install your application.
