RecognizerContext.RecognitionWithAlternates Event
Occurs when the RecognizerContext object has generated results after calling the BackgroundRecognizeWithAlternates method.
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink (in Microsoft.Ink.dll)
The event handler receives an argument of type RecognizerContextRecognitionWithAlternatesEventArgs containing data about this event.
When you create a RecognizerContextRecognitionWithAlternatesEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that handles the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate.
The behavior of the application programming interface (API) is unpredictable if you try to gain access to the original RecognizerContext object from the RecognitionWithAlternates event handler. Do not attempt to do this. Instead, if you need to do this, create a flag and set it in the Recognition event handler. Then you can poll that flag to determine when to change the RecognizerContext properties outside of the event handler.
In this example, each stroke made in an InkOverlay object is automatically recognized and the recognition results (including alternates) displayed.
During application startup, the RecognizerContext object is instantiated, and event handlers are assigned.
' create a new RecognizerContext object ' the object's Strokes property is initialized to null mRecognizerContext = New RecognizerContext() ' assign the Strokes property by creating a fresh Strokes collection mRecognizerContext.Strokes = mInkOverlay.Ink.CreateStrokes() ' subscribe to the Strokes event. It is during this event ' that we can add strokes to the RecognizerContext AddHandler mInkOverlay.Stroke, New InkCollectorStrokeEventHandler(AddressOf mInkOverlay_Stroke1) ' subscribe to the the RecognitionWithAlternates event. ' This event is fired when background recognition is complete, ' and recognition results (with alternates) are available AddHandler mRecognizerContext.RecognitionWithAlternates, _ New RecognizerContextRecognitionWithAlternatesEventHandler(AddressOf mRecognizerContext_RecognitionWithAlternates)
When the Stroke event fires (in response to the user completing a stroke), the newly created stroke is added to the Strokes collection of the RecognizerContext object, and the BackgroundRecognizeWithAlternates method is called.
Private Sub mInkOverlay_Stroke1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As InkCollectorStrokeEventArgs) ' in case background recognition is still occurring, stop it mRecognizerContext.StopBackgroundRecognition() ' add the stroke, and start recognition mRecognizerContext.Strokes.Add(e.Stroke) mRecognizerContext.BackgroundRecognizeWithAlternates() End Sub
When background recognition is complete, the RecognitionWithAlternates event fires. During handling of this event, the results of the recognition (including alternates) are placed in a list box.
' event fires when recognition results (with alternates) are ready Private Sub mRecognizerContext_RecognitionWithAlternates(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As RecognizerContextRecognitionWithAlternatesEventArgs) ' when updating a control, must use Invoke() since controls are ' not thread safe and recognition occurs on a different thread If Me.InvokeRequired Then ' recursively call this method via Invoke() Me.Invoke( _ New RecognizerContextRecognitionWithAlternatesEventHandler(AddressOf mRecognizerContext_RecognitionWithAlternates), _ New Object() {sender, e} _ ) Return End If If RecognitionStatus.NoError = e.RecognitionStatus Then ' show the top alternate listBoxRecognitionResults.Items.Add("TOP:" + e.Result.TopAlternate.ToString()) ' get the rest of the alternates Dim allAlternates As RecognitionAlternates = e.Result.GetAlternatesFromSelection() ' show each of the other alternates For Each oneAlternate As RecognitionAlternate In allAlternates listBoxRecognitionResults.Items.Add("ALT:" + oneAlternate.ToString()) Next End If End Sub
