HitTest and InkEdit Control

[AlexanderBB]

Does anyone know if the hittest function will work with an Inkedit control?

The InkEdit library provides a number of very useful interfaces such as IStream, IRunningObjectTable, IMoniker etc that could potentially be used instead of using low level api com calls hence making the code much easier and shorter. Unfortunately, some of these interfaces are not compatible with VB(A) clients as they use unsupported data types in VB(A). I guess one could still work around this limitation by using light object versions of the interfaces and the IDispatch interface. I would be curious if this could be done.

I did know that InkEdit had a few additional interfaces after stumbling across a thread written by wqweto on the topic: COM interfaces in system supplied type libraries-VBForums

I seem to see IStream all the time these days.

Exactly. I too stumbled on that post by wqweto a few months ago which drew my attention to the potential of using the interfaces that come with the InkEdit lib. It is a shame the tlbs define various functions whose parameters are unsigned longs, not comptaible with VB(A).
