RecognizerContext.Recognition Event

  • Article

RecognizerContext.Recognition Event

Occurs when the RecognizerContext has generated results from the BackgroundRecognize method.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public Event Recognition As RecognizerContextRecognitionEventHandler
C# public event RecognizerContextRecognitionEventHandler Recognition;
Managed C++ public: __event RecognizerContextRecognitionEventHandler Recognition;

Remarks

The event handler receives an argument of type RecognizerContextRecognitionEventArgs containing data about this event.

When you create a RecognizerContextRecognitionEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle 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 API is unpredictable if you try to gain access to the original RecognizerContext object from the recognition 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.

Examples

[C#]

This C# example tracks each stroke made and calls the BackgroundRecognize method, which subsequently causes a recognition event to occur. The results of the recognition appear in the text box.

using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.Ink;

class RecognitionEventForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form

    RecognizerContext theRecognizerContext;

    public RecognitionEventForm()
    {
        // Initialize the form and the textbox.
        // Call SuspendLayout while we adjust things.
        this.textBox1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();
        this.SuspendLayout();
        this.textBox1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Bottom;
        this.textBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 300);
        this.textBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(350, 20);
        this.textBox1.Text = "";
        this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(350, 320);
        this.Controls.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.Control[] {this.textBox1});
        this.Text = "Recognition Event Demo";
        this.ResumeLayout(false);

        // Create new ink collector and recognizer context
        theInkCollector = new InkCollector(Handle);

        // Enable the ink collector
        theInkCollector.Enabled = true;
    }

    public static void Main()
    {
        Application.Run(new RecognitionEventForm());
    }

    // Stroke event handler
    private void Stroke_Event(object sender,
        InkCollectorStrokeEventArgs e)
    {
        // When a new stroke is collected,
        // add it to the recognizer's strokes collection.
        theStrokes.Add(e.Stroke);
        // Tell the context to recognize its strokes.
        theRecognizerContext.BackgroundRecognize();
    }

    // Recognition Event Handler
    private void Recognition_Event(object sender,
        RecognizerContextRecognitionEventArgs e)
    {
        // Update the Text box with the top string of the result
        textBox1.Text = e.Text;
    }

        // Event handler for the form's closed event
        private void RecognitionEventForm_Closed(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            theInkCollector.Dispose();
            theInkCollector = null;
            theRecognizerContext.Dispose();
            theRecognizerContext = null;
        }
