InkClass provides methods for storing multiple pen inputs in a compact form. It automatically handles all queries about pen input. It handles display, with the power to display the ink in any color, and it allows the use of standard or custom background pictures.

To change the way the Ink class (or any other appropriate class) handles ink, the messages to subclass are MSG_META_NOTIFY_WITH_DATA_BLOCK (with the notification type MANUFACTURER_ID_GEOWORKS, NT_INK), MSG_META_QUERY_IF_PRESS_IS_INK , and MSG_VIS_QUERY_IF_OBJECT_HANDLES_INK .
