Hi,

I am trying to develop paint tool app in C# metro style windows8 application. I don't see InkCanvas control available in Windows.UI.XAML.Controls, I am assuming this name space is equivalent of System.Windows.Controls in WPF.

Please suggest.

Does that mean all WPF controls are not available to metro style app?

Right. Not all WPF controls are available for Metro style apps. You can access and control ink via the Windows.UI.Input.Inking namespace. There isn't currently a Xaml sample, but the HTML Ink App sample demonstrates the same API from Javascript.

There is also a //build/ session on inking by Annie Chowdhry and Jay Pittman you might want to watch at http://channel9.msdn.com/events/BUILD/BUILD2011/PLAT-192C
