RIchInk / InkX Handwriting "Recognize" Functionality

I'm working on a PocketPC 2002 app that needs to collect handwritten
user input and convert it to text; very much like the way "Notes" app
converts handwritten input via the "Recognize" menu command.

I've reviewed the (pitiful) RichInk and InkX API docs, inspected the
header files, read through dozens of RichInk/InkX posts, scoured the
MS knowledge base, and used CESpy the try to find the right
combination of messages, all to no avail.

Anyone have any tips or hints on how to do this?

Thanks -- Steve

Apparently the richink.h that ships with the PPC SDK is incomplete. Here's
a related newsgroup posting that will help you:

Thanks. I've downloaded the Palm PC SDK and did indeed find a more
complete richink.h file. I'll post again with results.
