Hi,

I just have trial on the Nlarge, and how can I use a mouse cursor to click the menu ?

Thanks

New Post: How about multi monitor?

Usually the presentations are done on external monitor and I'm not able to zoom or draw on that monitor. It would be great if we had that functionality.

Modified the code to include the above. Quite easy to do and it works well on 2008 (and Vista, I assume). I had to add some error handling for XP as the calls to the Ink routines throw an exception.

New Post: Zoom without drawing?

soda97 — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:58:37 GMT

Is it possible to just having the zoom feature and still able to do all the left and right clicking, highlighting and other stuff?
I wish it can turn on and off the drawing feature instead.

thanks in advance,
soda

I know this is late, but I just stumbled across this thread, figured I'd answer the question...

If you want to constrain your InkCanvas to draw straight lines, the simplest thing to do (assuming you want to constrain to horizontal and/or vertical lines) is to use the gesture system. So, you start by setting your InkCanvas.EditingMode to "InkAndGesture" and then you SetEnabledGestures to just "Right","Left","Up","Down" ...

                myInkCanvas.EditingMode = InkCanvasEditingMode.InkAndGesture;
                // The gestures in which the application is interested are enabled here.
                myInkCanvas.SetEnabledGestures(new ApplicationGesture[] {
                ApplicationGesture.Up, ApplicationGesture.Down, ApplicationGesture.Left, ApplicationGesture.Right });
                // Hook up the "Gesture" event.
                myInkCanvas.Gesture += new InkCanvasGestureEventHandler(InkCanvas_Gesture);

In the Gesture event, you need to handle these something like this:

            GestureRecognitionResult topResult = e.GetGestureRecognitionResults()[0];
            if (topResult.RecognitionConfidence == RecognitionConfidence.Strong)
            {
                ApplicationGesture gesture = topResult.ApplicationGesture;
                switch (gesture)
                {

          // basically, each of them looks something like this:
           case ApplicationGesture.Right {
               // You're hodling CTRL to draw straight lines
               if( System.Windows.Input.Keyboard.Modifiers && System.Windows.Input.ModifierKeys.Control == System.Windows.Input.ModifierKeys.Control ) {
                System.Windows.Input.StylusPointCollection points = new System.Windows.Input.StylusPointCollection();
                  points.Add( new System.Windows.Input.StylusPoint( e.strokes[0].StylusPoints[0].X, e.strokes[0].StylusPoints[0].Y ) )
                  points.Add( new System.Windows.Input.StylusPoint( e.strokes.GetBounds().Right, e.strokes[0].StylusPoints[0].Y ) )

                  myInkCanvas.Strokes.Add( new System.Windows.Ink.Stroke( points, e.strokes[0].DrawingAttributes ) )
               } else {
                  e.Cancel = true
               }
           }

It's a really good idea. I'm using the InkCanvas for drawing. Maybe someone could figure out how to make the InkCanvas draw a straight line?

I would find it very helpful to be able to have different pens for drawing. The red thin line is very useful but I would also like to be able to switch into a highlighter pen (yellow and much thicker) so I could highlight text.

Added this in version 1.1. You can now choose different coloured pens and change their thickness. Thanks for the feature idea!

Source code not all there...:

Sam, Thanks for the note. I've managed to resolve the "missing code" issues, I think, and also even learned how to create a release which is hopefully stable :)
