    private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuInkPenTipRectangle;
    private InkCollector theInkCollector;
    private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem checkedPenTip;

//...
    private void menuInkPenTipBall_Click(
    object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        checkedPenTip.Checked = false;
        theInkCollector.DefaultDrawingAttributes.PenTip = Microsoft.Ink.PenTip.Ball;
        checkedPenTip = menuInkPenTipBall;
        checkedPenTip.Checked = true;
        Refresh();
