Microsoft is set to bring the new Windows Ink functionalities later this summer with Windows 10 Anniversary update, but Insiders will be able to test the new feature in upcoming preview builds. Developers will also be able to integrate the ink in their apps with just a couple of lines of code with the new Ink APIs. Initially the new features will be included in Maps, Microsoft Edge, and Office apps. The company is even partnering with Wacom to create new guidelines that OEM can follow to create the ultimate pen experience on Windows 10. This is just the beginning, Microsoft still has a lot to do in Windows Ink. There, you will be able to configure various aspect, including turn off visual effects, disable the cursor, ignore touch input when using the pen, remove apps recommendations on the Pen Workspace, configured what happens when you single-click or double-click the pen button, and a lot more. In the Anniversary Update, the Settings app will include a Pen section inside of Devices. In the new update, Microsoft is bringing the pen configuration options to the Settings app, instead of having to use a separate app.
You can use one finger to move the ruler around or two fingers to rotate or hold in position to draw your straight line on a sketchpad, on an app, or just on top Windows.Ĭhanges are also coming on how users configure the Pen in Windows 10.
Microsoft even showed off the ruler and even though there is nothing special about a ruler, this feature alone works amazingly. The company demonstrated the new ink feature during its developer conference, which you can watch in the video below. The feature also includes a list of apps that incorporates support for pen, and other apps you can download from the Store.įor now, everything looks pretty basic, but eventually features will get richer as Microsoft and developers build on top of it. In its current state, Ink Workspace offers all the basic elements to start using the pen in Windows 10, including a sketchpad, screen sketch, and sticky notes. In addition, Microsoft is also introducing its own Ink Workspace in Windows 10 that will be the place to start for user to use the pen. The Anniversary Update will also make easier for developers to build Windows Ink support into their UWP apps.
