Property Value

The name of the factoid used by the InkEdit control.

Remarks

A factoid provides context for ink within a particular field. You specify a factoid if an input field is of a known type. For example, if the input field contains a date, specify the IS_DATE_FULLDATE enumerated value.

For the InkEdit control, the Factoid property should only be changed if the Status property returns the InkEditStatus enumeration value, Idle.

To ensure the correct context association, set this property before the ink is processed for the first time.

The Factoid property takes or returns a String, not a Factoid object. For a list of possible values for the Factoid property, see InputScope.

For a list of supported factoids, see the Factoid object and Supported Factoids from Version 1.

No errors are thrown when the factoid is set to an invalid string value.

Note

String representations of factoids are case-sensitive.
