How about some ink enabled Silverlight controls?

Frank LaVigne points to
a good collection of Silverlight controls he found recently:

I’ve been working a lot on WPF lately and with the new CTP’s of Expression Blend,
I’ve been starting to play around with Silverlight.

Much to my surprise (and perhaps horror) there aren’t a lot of controls built into
the Silverlight runtime. 

Fortunately, ComponentOne has been working on that and you
can see what they’ve been up to in their labs
.  Their control suite for Silverlight,
called Sapphire contains
the following:

  • textbox, masked textbox, numeric textbox
  • combobox
  • lists galore
  • layout controls: stackpanel, hyperpanel, etc.
  • date pickers
  • color picker, sliders, etc.
  • Much, much more

I wonder … has anyone made ink enabled Silverlight Controls they are sharing??

Cool app to Explore Ink Analysis

Tablet MVP Josh Einstein has released a
new tool called Ink
Analyzer Explorer
that looks like it will be a great help to developers wanting
to learn more about the Ink
Analysis API
.  In fact that is one of the things on my To-Do list so I guess
I better grab a copy myself ;)



Tres cool, Josh.
