Remarks

Note

The DefaultPanel property cannot be set to Inactive.

The Handwriting panel—also known as the writing pad—is the default input UI for a PenInputPanel object.

If the value of this property is Default, then the PenInputPanel object uses the last panel type used for any pen input panel in any application. If all previous references to the pen input panel have been destroyed in all active applications, a new PenInputPanel object uses the Handwriting panel type.

If the panel is changed by setting the CurrentPanel property before the PenInputPanel object becomes active for the first time, a PanelChanged event occurs.

Setting the DefaultPanel property enables you to specify which type of panel shows by default in that instance of the PenInputPanel object. If the value of this property is Handwriting or Keyboard, then each time the panel is made visible, it uses the handwriting or keyboard panel type, respectively.

If you re-attach the PenInputPanel to a different control and change the DefaultPanel property when the focus changes to the new control, be sure to set the DefaultPanel property before setting the AttachedEditWindow property to ensure that the correct panel is displayed.

Security Note:
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.
