StylusPointDescription.PropertyCount Property

Gets the number of properties in the StylusPointDescription.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Input
Assembly:  PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
public int PropertyCount { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Int32
The number of properties in the StylusPointDescription.

The following example demonstrates how to get the properties of each StylusPoint in a StylusPointCollection. This example assumes there is a TextBlock called packetOutput.


private void WriteStylusPointValues(StylusPointCollection points)
{
    StylusPointDescription pointsDescription = points.Description;

    ReadOnlyCollection<StylusPointPropertyInfo> properties = 
        pointsDescription.GetStylusPointProperties();

    // Write the name and and value of each property in
    // every stylus point.
    StringWriter packetWriter = new StringWriter();
    packetWriter.WriteLine("{0} stylus points", points.Count.ToString());
    foreach (StylusPoint stylusPoint in points)
    {
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Stylus Point info");
        packetWriter.WriteLine("X: {0}", stylusPoint.X.ToString());
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Y: {0}", stylusPoint.Y.ToString());
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Pressure: {0}", stylusPoint.PressureFactor.ToString());

        // Get the property name and value for each StylusPoint.
        // Note that this loop reports the X, Y, and pressure values differantly than 
        // getting their values above.
        for (int i = 0; i < pointsDescription.PropertyCount; ++i)
        {
            StylusPointProperty currentProperty = properties[i];

            // GetStylusPointPropertyName is defined below and returns the
            // name of the property.
            packetWriter.Write("{0}: ", GetStylusPointPropertyName(currentProperty));
            packetWriter.WriteLine(stylusPoint.GetPropertyValue(currentProperty).ToString());
        }
        packetWriter.WriteLine();

    }

    packetOutput.Text = packetWriter.ToString();
}


...


// Use reflection to get the name of currentProperty.
private string GetStylusPointPropertyName(StylusPointProperty currentProperty)
{
    Guid guid = currentProperty.Id;

    // Iterate through the StylusPointProperties to find the StylusPointProperty
    // that matches currentProperty, then return the name.
    foreach (FieldInfo theFieldInfo
        in typeof(StylusPointProperties).GetFields())
    {
        StylusPointProperty property = (StylusPointProperty) theFieldInfo.GetValue(currentProperty);
        if (property.Id == guid)
        {
            return theFieldInfo.Name;
        }
    }
    return "Not found";
}
