no Ink?

[Elliott]

I am replacing as many Microsoft controls with Telerik Winforms controls in order to prepare for a move to Windows 8
the app uses Microsoft Ink
the Telerik textbox doesn't seem to want to hook up with Ink
here's the kode

myInkCollector = New InkCollector(Me.txtSignature.Handle)
myInkCollector.DefaultDrawingAttributes.Width = ThinInkWidth
myInkCollector.Enabled = True

if txtSignature is a Microsoft textbox it works
if it is a RadTextBox it doesn't

Hi Marianne,

Thank you for the question.

The textbox part of RadTextBox is actually represented by the standard Microsoft TextBox. So, you need to access the hosted MS TextBox and its Handle using the following code snippet:

Dim myInkCollector As Microsoft.Ink.InkCollector = New Microsoft.Ink.InkCollector(Me.RadTextBox1.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.Handle)
myInkCollector.DefaultDrawingAttributes.Width = ThinInkWidth
myInkCollector.Enabled = True

I hope this helps.
