Property Value
One of the PanelType values representing the panel type currently used for input within the PenInputPanel object. The Handwriting panel type is the default value.
Remarks
When you create a PenInputPanel object, the Handwriting panel—also known as the writing pad—is the default input UI.
If you change the panel by setting the CurrentPanel property before the PenInputPanel object becomes active for the first time, a PanelChanged event occurs.
The CurrentPanel property can only be set to either the Handwriting or Keyboard value of the PanelType enumeration. The CurrentPanel property can never be set to Default or Inactive.
The CurrentPanel property returns the Inactive enumeration value if the panel window is associated with another instance of the PenInputPanel object. Setting the CurrentPanel property raises an exception if the panel is inactive or if the panel type is invalid.

If using under partial trust, this property requires SecurityPermissionFlag.AllFlags permission, in addition to the permissions required by PenInputPanel. See Security and Trust for more information. |
Example
This C# example creates a PenInputPanel object, thePenInputPanel
, and attaches it to an InkEdit control, theInkEdit
. It attaches a VisibleChanged event handler, VisibleChanged_Event
to thePenInputPanel
. The event handler forces the pen input panel to display the keyboard panel whenever it becomes visible by setting the CurrentPanel property to Keyboard.
[C#]
//...
// Declare the PenInputPanel object
PenInputPanel thePenInputPanel;
public Form1()
{
// Required for Windows Form Designer support
InitializeComponent();
// Create and attach the new PenInputPanel to an InkEdit control.
thePenInputPanel = new PenInputPanel(theInkEdit);
// Add a VisibleChanged event handler
thePenInputPanel.VisibleChanged +=
new PenInputPanelVisibleChangedEventHandler(VisibleChanged_Event);
}
//...
public void VisibleChanged_Event(object sender,
PenInputPanelVisibleChangedEventArgs e)
{
// Make sure the object that generated
// the event is a PenInputPanel object
if (sender is PenInputPanel)
{
PenInputPanel theSenderPanel = (PenInputPanel)sender;
// If the panel has become visible...
if (e.NewVisibility)
{
// Always default to keyboard input
if (theSenderPanel.CurrentPanel == PanelType.Handwriting)
{
theSenderPanel.CurrentPanel = PanelType.Keyboard;
}
}
}
}
