Example

[Visual Basic 6.0]

This Visual Basic 6.0 example demonstrates adding a Painting and a Painted event handler to an InkOverlay object. Paint events are initiated with a command button, CommandRepaint, or by the usual Window events. The Painting event handler is invoked before the Paint event begins, and causes the Color and Width drawing attributes to be randomized before the ink is painted. The Painted event handler writes information about the number of times the paint event has occurred in a text box, Text1.

ByVal hDC As Long, _
ByVal Rect As MSINKAUTLib.IInkRectangle)
    Text1.Text = "InkOverlay painted " & countPaint & " times."
    countPaint = countPaint + 1
End Sub

    theDrawingAttributes.Width = Int(240 * Rnd) + 30
