Inkx and Pocket Notes

I'm looking to add functionality to my app that essentially mimics the Pocket
Notes functionality. I've been playing with the InkX class from
OpenNETCF.org/sdf, but I've failed to find any good documentation on it. I
have only played with it for a little bit, but I haven't seen a quick/easy
way to reproduce all of the functionality within the Pocket Notes app.

Does anyone know of any good code samples or even good documentation for the
API?

Also, is there a way to have the "Notes" format used on Full Framework apps?
I'd like to be able to move all of the Notes taken to another app, at a
later time, and be able to open, read, and listen to the notes inside.

Thanks

G,

The InkX control is currently very bare-bones in it's implementation.
Further functionality can be added by interacting with the native control by
sending specific windows messages to the control, these are documented in
the inkx.h and richink.h headers in the Pocket PC SDK.
Intelliprog have a more powerful implementation which fully implements
reading-writing from streams, something that currently requires native code
to achieve and hence is missing from the OpenNETCF version, it also has full
control over the formatting of the contents.

There is a desktop version of richink.dll provided with activesync which can
probably be hosted as with any other native control on the desktop, but I'm
not aware of an implementation at the moment.

Thanks Peter,

That does seem to contain part of the functionality I'm looking for, but it
doesn't appear to have the voice recording. OpenNETCF's version contains
both the rich text and the voice recording/play back. I like it, for the
most part, I just haven't found very much information about it or how to use
it.

Thanks
