It looks not good in its current form. I seriously hope Microsoft uses XAML Islands for this in the future. This looks like some hackneyed Win32 custom implementation and produces jagged lines.
josh_bodner do you have any updates to share about broader inking support in the new Edge and if it will use the Win10 XAML Islands feature? I hope it does because Edge and Win10 have excellent inking but not on desktop apps. The inking for the screenshots right now is not even close to what the native Edge provides.
tmonster thanks for this, not the kind of "screenshot" feature I was expecting. Thought it was more in the vein of the "Add Notes" feature in the current Edge.
Gerardo D'Amico Yeah, same here. I'm sure they're working on something behind the scenes. I really, really hope it's https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/controls/wpf-winforms/inkcanvas for Windows 10 1903 or above and defaults to a custom engine for earlier versions of Windows that the new engine supports.
With their latest work on XAML Islands, desktop apps can host InkCanvas:
With WinUI 3.0 (coming next year), I believe anyone from Windows 10 Creators Update onwards will be able to use Inking in desktop apps. So that will likely cover all supported versions of Windows 10 that will have any significant user base anyway.
Windows 8.1 and below can use the custom implementation that's currently for feedback screenshots.
