>>Hello Markus,

>>You wrote a nice article for Fox Advisor several months ago about programming for the TabletPC using VFP. In that article you mentioned that you loaded a background image into the InkPicture control. I have not been able to figure out how to get a background image in my InkPicture control. Would it be possible for you to shed some light?

Thank you Markus, I will give that a try.
I also found that I could set the backcolor property dynamically, although it would not allow it at design time. This was a good temporary solution.

Thanks,
