Overview of HPENDATA
Windows allocates the HPENDATA object with an internal call to the Windows GlobalAlloc function. Other Windows data objects are allocated from the USER or GDI
heaps, but the large size of an HPENDATA object necessitates allocation from the system global heap.
Windows imposes a 64K limit on the size of each HPENDATA object. At a report rate of 120 samples per second, at 4 bytes per data
point, plus some overhead data structures, minus the time the pen is not in contact
with the surface of the tablet, a single HPENDATA object can contain the data representing roughly two and one-half minutes of
pen activity.
The following section describes the internal structure of an HPENDATA memory block. Though not recommended, your application can use this
information to read ink data if necessary. However, the internal structure of the HPENDATA block may change in future versions of Windows. Therefore, applications
should always use standard API functions to read from an HPENDATA object.
Important Under no circumstances should an application write directly into an HPENDATA block. The Pen API provides functions for modifying ink data safely. Directly
changing point data in the block can cause hazardous side effects.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
