Hi All
I am new to tablet pc development. My working enviorment is Windows 2003 with Tablet PC SDK 1.5 installed and C#. I am designing a control for tablet pc. I am using a panel for pen Input. Now when user is writing (Using Pen) and is near the end of panel I want to increase panel's height so that user can have more area to write on.
Please provide Suggestions.
Thanx in Advance
munish

Having two available lines for inking would help?

Thank you for the reply and taking interest in my problem.
The solution your are suggesting is logically correct but the issue arises at some other point.
Let me explain you ...
I have implemented 1 sample which recalculates the height of the ink picture control according to the strokes made by the user. It checks if the stroke is around the bottom of the control then its size is increased. All works fine..but if the user hapazardly writes some strokes vertically without lifting the pen then the stroke is not recognized untill the pen is lifted from the tablet pc, i.e. when the user is writing hapazardly after 1-2 strokes the ink of the following strokes does not appear.
This is the code which I wrote :- just copy and paste the code written below and set the reference of Micosoft.Ink

and then run it, then try to write vertical lines with the pen or mouse.

this.ResumeLayout(false);

}

}

private void frmAutoGrow_Resize(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
inkPic.Width = Width - 20;
}

private void inkPic_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
if(inkPic.CollectingInk && inkPic.Location.Y + e.Y > inkPic.Bottom - marginHeight)
{
inkPic.Size += new Size(0,intIncreament);
Invalidate(true);
}
}
}
}

Hope you can help me...its really urgent for me.

Perhaps you meant to post this information to the
