Getting Started

Windows 10 UWP Development Environment

The WILL SDK for Ink requires Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2019 or above. A sample application has been provided for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP).

Download the SDK

Download the SDK from https://developer.wacom.com/developer-dashboard

  • Login using your Wacom ID
  • Navigate to Downloads for ink
  • Select More info on WILL SDK for ink for Windows
  • Accept the End User License Agreement and follow the NuGet installation instructions to use the SDK

The downloaded Zip file contains the SDK.

SDK License

The SDK does not require a license key. Use of the SDK is subject to the End User License Agreement.

Using the WILL SDK

The SDK contains the NuGet packages required by the application code.

Ultimately the packages will be available in the public NuGet.org Gallery provided for the .NET community. Until they are in place the same result can be achieved by using a local copy:

• copy the SDK NuGets folder alongside the sample project code • follow the instructions below to add the NugGet packages to the project references

Sample Application

Build the application in Visual Studio 2019.

  • Open the demo application WILL3-DemoApp-UWP.sln solution file
  • If prompted, select Developer Mode in Visual Studio
  • To compile the application you will need to add the NuGet packages to the project. One way is as follows:
    • Copy the sdk folder containing NuGet packages to a local folder e.g. WILL NuGets
    • Right-click the project in Solution Explorer
    • Select Manage NuGet Packages... Wacom packages may be listed as unavailable. To resolve:
    • Select Settings (gear wheel) - displays the Options dialog
    • Select New (+)
    • This will set new source Name: to 'Package Source' by default. Change to Wacom
    • Click the browse button ...
    • Navigate to the WILL NuGets folder
    • Click Update
    • On return to NuGet Package Manager change Package Source: to the newly created source folder (e.g. Wacom) Wacom packages should now be shown as available (if necessary select Install): Wacom.Ink Wacom.Ink.Rendering.UWP
  • Generate a certificate:
    • Right-click the solution and go to Properties. Select Application and press the Package Manifest... button.
    • From there, select the Packaging tab and Choose Certificate...
    • Create a certificate and press OK.
  • Build the project as Debug x86 or Debug x64
  • Run the program to display the main window
  • By selecting different options in the menu, the rendering options can be explored.
  • Options are included to clear the display and to save, or read a WILL Universal ink file
