Having ink turn into text in a view.



Q. We're using VisText objects. The text objects appear and are editable
   via the PC keyboard and the floating keyboard. However, the user can't
   write any ink in the object for HWR. Clicking and dragging the mouse
   simply selects text. What attribute needs to be set so that it will
   also allow pen input (ink->HWR)?

A. The general rule is, unless you know for sure what you're doing, set
   GVI_inkType = GVIT_QUERY_OUTPUT on the view. GVIT_QUERY_OUTPUT, when
   used with system-provided objects (ink object, text object) will always
   work.

   The default for GVI_inkType is GVIT_PRESSES_ARE_NOT_INK.
