Question Add InkCanvas and InkToolbar in WindowsForms

[Tobi]

Hi,

I can't get any further. I'm trying to add freehand support to my Windows Forms (NO WPF). I've already felt everything. Before I give up, I wanted to try again here. I copied parts of my code from Microsoft's example for WPF.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Windows.Ink;
using Windows.Storage.Streams;
using Windows.UI.Input.Inking;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;
using Windows.UI.Xaml;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media;


namespace Daily_Planner
{
    public partial class Form2 : Form
    {
        private InkCanvas inkCanvas;
        private InkToolbar inktoolbar;
        public Form2()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            inkCanvas = new InkCanvas();
            //inkCanvas.FocusVisualPrimaryBrush = ImageBrush;
            inktoolbar = new InkToolbar();


            inktoolbar.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;
            inktoolbar.Margin = new Thickness(10,0,10,0);
            inktoolbar.TargetInkCanvas = inkCanvas;
        }

At first, this is only the part where I wanted to create the objects. However, I already had problems with the assignment of the FocusVisualPrimaryBrush, so I comment on it.

Also, I have the feeling that what I have up to now is not working either. There are no error messages, but I neither see the toolbar nor can I paint anywhere on the InkCanvas.

If someone else knows please no links but a direct explanation, as already mentioned on the Internet I've been everywhere.

Thanks in advance!

Where did you add the ink canvas and toolbar to the Controls collection of the form?
