InkPicture.SetWindowInputRectangle Method

Sets the window rectangle, in pixels, within which ink is drawn.

Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink (in microsoft.ink.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub SetWindowInputRectangle ( _
    windowInputRectangle As Rectangle _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As InkPicture
Dim windowInputRectangle As Rectangle

instance.SetWindowInputRectangle(windowInputRectangle)
public void SetWindowInputRectangle (
    Rectangle windowInputRectangle
)
public:
void SetWindowInputRectangle (
    Rectangle windowInputRectangle
)
public void SetWindowInputRectangle (
    Rectangle windowInputRectangle
)
public function SetWindowInputRectangle (
    windowInputRectangle : Rectangle
)
Not applicable.

Parameters

  • windowInputRectangle
    The input rectangle in window coordinates.

Remarks

By default, the window input rectangle is set to {0,0,0,0}. This default rectangle maps to the size of the entire window

  • To reset the window input rectangle to an empty rectangle with the default coordinates, pass {0,0,0,0} in the call to the SetWindowInputRectangle method, rather than a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) (Nothing in Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET).

You cannot pass in a rectangle where the value of the Right property is less than the value of the Left property; or where the value of the Bottom property is less than the value of the Top property. For example, a rectangle with parameters of {500, 500, 400, 400} is not valid

A rectangle in negative coordinate space can be specified but is meaningless, because it always results in a window that cannot be inked upon.

Warning

If you set the window input rectangle to overlap a Splitter control or the borders of the window, unpredictable results may occur when the window is resized

Example

This C# example calls the SetWindowInputRectangle method to set the ink input area to the size of the entire window of the InkPicture object, theInkPicture, to which it is attached.

[C#]

using Microsoft.Ink;
//...
InkPicture theInkCollector;
public Form1()
{
    // Initialization
    theInkCollector = new InkPicture(Handle);
    Rectangle theRect = new Rectangle(0,0,0,0);
    theInkPicture.SetWindowInputRectangle(theRect);
    //...
}

This Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET example calls the SetWindowInputRectangle method to set the ink input area to the size of the entire window of the InkPicture object, theInkPicture, to which it is attached.

[Visual Basic]

Imports Microsoft.Ink
Dim theInkPicture As InkPicture
Public Sub Form1()
    'Initialization
    Dim theRect As Rectangle
    theInkPicture = New InkPicture(Handle)
    theRect = New Rectangle(0,0,0,0)
    theInkPicture.SetWindowInputRectangle(theRect)
    '...
End Sub
