The Ink Database provides a simplified, specialized API to the database library. It allows the user to organize pieces of information on notes stored in a hierarchy of folders. Each note may have one or more pages, with each page corresponding to the contents of an ink or text object. The data stored in each page is a DB item returned by MSG_INK_SAVE_TO_DB_ITEM (for Ink objects) or MSG_VIS_TEXT_GET_ALL_DB_ITEM (for Text objects).

Notes and folders are specified by means of a dword identifier. This identifier has nothing to do with where the note's (or folder's) data is stored, or where it appears in the folder tree. Applications should use the InkLoadPage() and InkSavePage() routines to work with a note's data, and use the routines described below to determine where a note or folder appears in the folder tree.
