Return Value

A human-readable type for the ContextNode object as a string.

Remarks

For example, if the Type is InkWord, this method returns a value of "InkWordNode".

Example

This example is a method that recursively traverses a tree of ContextNode objects. It uses the SubNodes property and populates a TreeView by adding TreeViewItem objects. It then sets their Header property to ToString, and adds InkWordNode.GetRecognizedString or InkDrawingNode.GetShapeName if appropriate.

Private Shared Sub WalkTree(ByVal parentContextNode As ContextNode, ByVal parentTreeNode As TreeViewItem) 

    parentTreeNode.IsExpanded = True

    For Each theContextSubnode As ContextNode In parentContextNode.SubNodes
        Dim newTreeNode As New TreeViewItem()
        newTreeNode.Header = theContextSubnode.ToString()

        If TypeOf theContextSubnode Is InkWordNode Then
            newTreeNode.Header += ": " + CType(theContextSubnode, InkWordNode).GetRecognizedString()
        ElseIf TypeOf theContextSubnode Is InkDrawingNode Then
            newTreeNode.Header += ": " + CType(theContextSubnode, InkDrawingNode).GetShapeName()
        End If

        ' If the context node is confirmed, add a note to the
        ' tree view item.
        If (theContextSubnode.IsConfirmed(ConfirmationType.NodeTypeAndProperties)) Then

            newTreeNode.Header += " Confirmed."
        End If


        ' Add the context node as a tag of the tree view item and
        ' add the new tree view item to the parent node.
        newTreeNode.Tag = theContextSubnode
        parentTreeNode.Items.Add(newTreeNode)

        // If the context node is confirmed, add a note to the
        // tree view item.
        if (theContextSubnode.IsConfirmed(ConfirmationType.NodeTypeAndProperties))
        {
            newTreeNode.Header += " Confirmed.";
        }

        // add the new tree view item to the parent node.
