The only reason i mention MathML is because an answer on SuperUser mentioned MathML: What API, registration, callback, listener, message, COM Object do i have to implement so that i will receive MathPanel input? Nor can i find any information on MSDN about what special API is required to accept the insertion of an equation. There is no mention of any special API some software must support. I can find no information in the help on what is required by an application to make it work. i would assume that clicking Insert would insert it into the application that is active behind it (much like the On-Screen Keyboard works):Įxcept i assume it would operate as a Paste operation.

I discovered today that Windows 7 comes with a very impressive MathPanel utility, for performing handwriting recognition of equations:
