Remarks
This object represents the physical pen that the user holds. A stylus may have multiple tips (such as normal and eraser ends), with each stylus tip corresponding to a different Stylus object. Some Tablet PCs allow multiple styluses. Each Stylus object has an associated globally unique identifier (GUID) that is unique on a system. For more information about how styluses can be used with a Tablet PC, see Pen Input, Ink, and Recognition, Command Input on the Tablet PC, and Using Gestures.
Stylus objects exist within the scope of a RealTimeStylus object. When a RealTimeStylus object encounters a new Stylus object, the RealTimeStylus object calls the IStylusSyncPlugin.StylusInRange method of each of its synchronous plug-ins, and finally the IStylusAsyncPlugin.StylusInRange method of its asynchronous plug-ins. The RealTimeStylus object maintains a list of the Stylus objects it has encountered. You can access this list by calling the RealTimeStylus object's GetStyluses method.
