Tablet.MaximumInputRectangle Property

Tablet.MaximumInputRectangle Property

Gets the maximum input rectangle, in tablet device coordinates, that the Tablet object supports.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET	Public ReadOnly Property MaximumInputRectangle As Rectangle
C#	public Rectangle MaximumInputRectangle { get; }
Managed C++	public: __property Rectangle* get_MaximumInputRectangle();

Property Value

System.Drawing.Rectangle. The maximum input rectangle, in tablet device coordinates, that the Tablet supports.

This property is read-only. This property has no default value.

Remarks

The rectangle returned by the MaximumInputRectangle property specifies the maximum allowable space in which ink can be drawn.
