Parameters

stroke
The stroke for which to return the classification.

Return Value

The classification of stroke.

Remarks

If the stroke's type is the System.Windows.Ink.StrokeType value Unspecified, the InkAnalyzer classifies the stroke during ink analysis. Otherwise, the InkAnalyzer uses the type set on the stroke.

To specify or change the stroke type, use SetStrokeType or SetStrokesType.

Example

This example defines a method, GetStrokeTypesInNode, for returning all the types for the strokes in a ContextNode.

' Iterate through the strokes within the context node and add the
' stroke types to a collection.
Dim theStrokeTypes As New System.Collections.ArrayList()
Dim theStroke As Stroke
For Each theStroke In theContextNode.Strokes
    Dim theStrokeType As StrokeType = theInkAnalyzer.GetStrokeType(theStroke)
    If Not theStrokeTypes.Contains(theStrokeType) Then
        theStrokeTypes.Add(theStrokeType)
    End If
Next theStroke

// Iterate through the strokes within the context node and add the
// stroke types to a collection.
System.Collections.ArrayList theStrokeTypes =
    new System.Collections.ArrayList();
foreach (Stroke theStroke in theContextNode.Strokes)
{
    StrokeType theStrokeType =
        theInkAnalyzer.GetStrokeType(theStroke);
    if (!theStrokeTypes.Contains(theStrokeType))
    {
        theStrokeTypes.Add(theStrokeType);
    }
}
