Property Value

The context node type for this ContextNode object.

Example

The following example shows how to use the Type property of a ContextNode object, selectedNode. The text of a TextBox, selectedResultsTextBox, is populated differently depending on the type of node. In most cases, the recognized string is used, but for InkWord, the line's recognized string is used, and the word is selected in the TextBox.

If selectedNode.Type = ContextNodeType.WritingRegion Then
    Dim writingRegion As WritingRegionNode = CType(selectedNode, WritingRegionNode)
    selectedResultsTextBox.Text = writingRegion.GetRecognizedString()
ElseIf selectedNode.Type = ContextNodeType.Paragraph Then
    Dim paragraph As ParagraphNode = CType(selectedNode, ParagraphNode)
    selectedResultsTextBox.Text = paragraph.GetRecognizedString()
ElseIf selectedNode.Type = ContextNodeType.Line Then
    Dim line As LineNode = CType(selectedNode, LineNode)
    selectedResultsTextBox.Text = line.GetRecognizedString()
ElseIf selectedNode.Type = ContextNodeType.InkWord Then
    Dim inkWord As InkWordNode = CType(selectedNode, InkWordNode)
    Dim parentNode As ContextNode = inkWord.ParentNode
    If TypeOf parentNode Is LineNode Then
        Dim parentLine As LineNode = CType(parentNode, LineNode)
        ' Put parent line's recognized string into the text box
        selectedResultsTextBox.Text = parentLine.GetRecognizedString()

        ' Select the text that corresponds to the ink word
        Dim subNodes As New ContextNodeCollection(theInkAnalyzer)
        subNodes.Add(inkWord)
        Dim start As Integer
        Dim length As Integer
