ink eraser in visio

[Keng Yuen Lok]

Hi all,

There's some inking tools in visio. But the drawback of it is that the
eraser erases the ink in a set of strokes. Is there a method to erase ink
bit by bit (erasing by pixels instead of strokes)?

Regards,
KengYuen

Sorry, no.

Hi Mark,

I'm trying to make use of TabletSDK to manipulate ink in visio. Do you think
there is a way to do that? Hope I'm not asking for the impossilbe.

Thanks

I don't believe you can get at the ink objects in Visio. Visio itself uses
the SDK to package up the ink into a Visio shape, but this is not exposed
through automation.

It is possible to get to the ink object through automation. An ink shape is
a foreign shape. The ForeignData property for that shape is the serialized
ink data. Using the Tablet SDK, it is possible to take that serialized ink
data and create an ink object. However, note that you can only get the
ForeignData property; there is no way to set it.
