Public Property Get AntiAliased() As Boolean
Public Property Let AntiAliased(ByVal isAntiAliased As Boolean)
Property Value
VARIANT_BOOL The value that indicates whether a stroke is antialiased.
This property is read/write.
| TRUE | Default. The drawn ink is antialiased. |
| FALSE | The drawn ink is not antialiased. |
Return Value
| HRESULT value | Description |
|---|---|
| S_OK | Success. |
| E_POINTER | The AntiAliased parameter is an invalid pointer. |
| E_INK_EXCEPTION | An exception occurred inside the method. |
| E_INVALIDARG | The flag is invalid. |
Remarks
If a stroke is antialiased, the foreground and background colors along the edge of the ink are blended to increase the visible smoothness.
Antialiasing improves the quality of rendering by making ink appear smoother and sharper, especially on lower resolution displays. However, antialiasing incurs added performance. Use it judiciously.
Example
[Visual Basic 6.0]
This Visual Basic 6.0 example shows an example using a checkbox to toggle antialiasing. Subsequent strokes are drawn with the AntiAliased property set or unset according to the setting of the CheckAntialias checkbox, which defaults to checked, since this property in InkCollector.DefaultDrawingAttributes defaults to TRUE. Existing strokes are unaffected by this setting.
Dim theInkCollector As InkCollector
Private Sub CheckAntialias_Click()
theInkCollector.DefaultDrawingAttributes.AntiAliased = _
Not theInkCollector.DefaultDrawingAttributes.AntiAliased
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set theInkCollector = New InkCollector
theInkCollector.hWnd = Me.hWnd
theInkCollector.Enabled = True
