I am speculating a bit here, but it would seem possible that the Vista machine is ink-enabled (i.e., a tablet PC), and you have an UltraInkProvider on the form. If this is the case, you can set the ShowInkButton property of the UltraInkProvider to false, or possibly set its Enabled property to false. I am surprised to see an ink button on the navigation pane header of UltraExplorerBar; to my knowledge that is not an editable entity and as such should not be showing an ink button regardless of whether inking is enabled.
The screenshot looks an awful lot like MS Outlook...are you certain that the screenshot you posted is of our UltraExplorerBar? I implemented the collapsible navigation pane stuff and I am at a loss for how an ink button could be appearing there. If you can, please provide details about what properties are set on the UltraExplorerBar.
Hi everybody,the problem finally came up again and has not gone anymore.I adoped solution verified here:

putting my setting in config file so the setup could choose if the device is touchscreen or not and consequentially set the desired behavior.

Hi, just to report that, inexplicably, inkbutton dissappered from any our computer (64 bit Win7) that showed them for a while, WITHOUT do nothing....
Our Windows7 installations have automatic updates turned on, I can just suppose that some hidden upgrade changed something on OS...
I will post again if the problem will come again.
Bye
Hi, this is not a true solution !
If I will set ShowInkButton to false I will lose this feature on TabletPC (or similar) for the future .
I just install application on Desktop and laptop at the moment, but in the future I will probably need that feature on touchscreens ...
Further more I'd have to set this on every controls!
Please take a look at http://community.infragistics.com/forums/p/29891/226046.aspx#226046 where I described better my situation replying to other similar cases.
Thank you
Set ShowInkButton to false
Hi, I have exactly the same behavior given by kiranr .
If I run the application under WinXP I do not see the pen, then if I install application on WinVista or Win7 machines, desktop machines, behaviors are different. On some machines I still not see the pen on other the pen come up.
I see that "ShowInkButton" property are set to "Default" value.
On machines where the pen come up, this pen is visible not only on ExplorerBar, but also on any edit controls !
Machines are DESKTOP (or in any case LAPTOP), but not TabletPC ...
Are there any OS settings to check?
