The height of the pen input panel in client coordinates.

Value

Meaning

120

The number of pixels equal to 1.25 inches at 96 dots per inch (dpi).

150

The number of pixels equal to 1.25 inches at 120 dpi.

166

The number of pixels equal to 1.25 inches at 133 dpi.

Remarks

The height of the pen input panel is dependent on the screen resolution for the particular Tablet PC.

Starting with Microsoft® Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, the Tablet PC Input Panel allows the user to continue entering handwriting by automatically increasing the size of the Input Panel to accomodate new handwriting. The Height and Width properties do not update to reflect the new size as the Input Panel grows. These properties return the original size of the Input Panel. They also do not report the dimensions of the Input Panel hover target.

Security noteSecurity 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.

Examples

This C# example creates a PenInputPanel object, thePenInputPanel, and attaches it to an InkEdit control, inkEdit1. It then attaches a VisibleChanged event handler, VisibleChanged_Event. In the event handler, it adds a sentence to the content of the edit control to which the PenInputPanel is attached. The sentence states the height of the pen input panel in pixels by retrieving the Height property and converting it to a string with the ToString method.

[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(inkEdit1);

    // 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;

        // When the panel has become visible...
        if (e.NewVisibility)
        {
            // Display the height of the panel in the attached edit control
            theSenderPanel.AttachedEditControl.Text +=
                    "The height of the panel is ";
            theSenderPanel.AttachedEditControl.Text +=
                     theSenderPanel.Height.ToString();
            theSenderPanel.AttachedEditControl.Text += " pixels.\n";
        }
    }
