I’ve made a little progress on my BlogPad project over the weekend. I think the UI looks much as it will in the end and I’m working on some of the functionality now.
Here’s an updated screenshot:
The mode buttons up the top allow you to select pen mode or mouse mode (to make for easier selection and drag and drop editing). The Categories list will be populated via a API call to the blog server. I added a couple other buttons to clear the whole form or just the title. The post to server button will eventually do just that. Right now it creates a message box with a bunch of XML in it J.
I spent ages trying to figure out how to get access to the alternates that (in theory) the recognition should create when it fires. I want to be able to right click a misrecognised word in the editing area after it is recognised and be able to select an alternate word. Not sure I can do this AND keep using the automatic ink to text conversion with the ink edit. If anyone has done this before let me know via the comments…
