InkCanvasSelectionHitResult Enumeration

Identifies the various parts of a selection adorner on an InkCanvas.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation, http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2007/xaml/presentation
public enum InkCanvasSelectionHitResult
This class is not typically used in XAML.
Member name Description
None No part of the selection adorner.
TopLeft The upper left handle of the selection adorner.
Top The upper middle handle of the selection adorner.
TopRight The upper right handle of the selection adorner.
Right The middle handle on the right edge of the selection adorner.
BottomRight The lower right handle of the selection adorner.
Bottom The lower middle handle of the selection adorner.
BottomLeft The lower left handle of the selection adorner.
Left The middle handle on the left edge of the selection adorner.
Selection The area within the bounds of the selection adorner.

The HitTestSelection method returns an InkCanvasSelectionHitResult to indicate which part of the selection adorner intersects or surrounds a Point. This is useful when performing drag-and-drop operations.

The following example demonstrates how use HitTestSelection to determine whether to create a DataObject to initiate drag and drop. To implement drag and drop between two InkCanvas objects, see How to: Drag and Drop Ink.


void InkCanvas_PreviewMouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    InkCanvas ic = (InkCanvas)sender;

    Point pt = e.GetPosition(ic);

    // If the user is moving selected strokes, prepare the strokes to be
    // moved to another InkCanvas.
    if (ic.HitTestSelection(pt) == 
        InkCanvasSelectionHitResult.Selection)
    {
        StrokeCollection selectedStrokes = ic.GetSelectedStrokes();
        StrokeCollection strokesToMove = selectedStrokes.Clone();

        // Remove the offset of the selected strokes so they
        // are positioned when the strokes are dropped.
        Rect inkBounds = strokesToMove.GetBounds();
        TranslateStrokes(strokesToMove, -inkBounds.X, -inkBounds.Y);

        // Perform drag and drop.
        MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
        strokesToMove.Save(ms);
        DataObject dataObject = new DataObject(
            StrokeCollection.InkSerializedFormat, ms);

        DragDropEffects effects = 
            DragDrop.DoDragDrop(ic, dataObject, 
                                DragDropEffects.Move);

        if ((effects & DragDropEffects.Move) == 
             DragDropEffects.Move)
        {
            // Remove the selected strokes 
            // from the current InkCanvas.
            ic.Strokes.Remove(selectedStrokes);
        }
    }
}
