Hi,

I am currently developing a Ink your Desktop using C# and VS2008. I understand how does Microsoft Ink works. I can scribble around my form or any controls on my form. The problem is that I want to scribble around my desktop.

I've tried using a form with transparency key on but you should start inking from its border going to the center.

I've also tried getting the Desktop Handle by using GetDesktopWindow() and GetDC() from pinvoke I cannot still get what I want.

What are the current possible solutions with regards on my problem?

Hai friends I am also having the same problem, When I tried to use GetDesktopWindow() and GetDC(), I was able to paint only if I declare a graphics object and use it to draw. IntPtr desktopDC = GetDC(IntPtr.Zero); Graphics g = Graphics.FromHdc(desktopDC); g.DrawEllipse(p,e.X,e.Y,10,10); When using this code, I am getting innapropriate results, It drawing on the desktop, but it is not painting where the cursor is positioned. PS: Excuse me for my grammar, I was in a bit of hurry.

I have done the same as you with no good results, It allways gives me an argumentValueException.

Im pretty desperate about this, any idea would be very helpfull.

Thanks in advance
