In my previous post I promised I’d get you a working copy of the example app. It can be found here. This is just the executable as I am cleaning up the code for the project to make it somewhat more presentable. This demo is made for the July CTP of .NET Framework 3.0. Above you can see a screenshot of the example with around 80 pics sitting on the corkboard…click the pic for a larger version.

You may notice that the details postit is no longer skewed as it was before. This is because there doesn’t seem to be a way to base the orientation of the InkCanvas recogition to the application window. Instead it attempts to recognize gestures in whichever�orientation it happens to be in. This is a good thing, in general, but for this example it made recognition rather difficult since you are forced to skew your gestures to match the skew of the PostIt. Probably not a big deal with a TabletPC and a stylus, but a pain with a mouse.

It will run on Windows XP, but unless you have the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 Recognizer Pack it won’t recognize any gestures (note: this can be installed on any XP operating system, not just the Tablet PC edition). Recognition is built-in to Widows Vista.

Sorry folks, no XBAP edition of this app. Although I generally want to release an XBAP version of each bit so you can see it online without having to download it, getting a browser enabled version of this one up-and-running would be more trouble than it’s worth.
