'Declaration
Public Structure StylusPoint
	Implements IEquatable(Of StylusPoint)
'Usage
Dim instance As StylusPoint

public final class StylusPoint extends ValueType implements IEquatable<StylusPoint>
<StylusPoint .../>

A StylusPoint collects data when a user inputs ink using the digitizer. Because the information that a digitizer reports differs depending on the manufacture, the properties within a StylusPoint can vary. To determine whether a property is in the StylusPoint, call the HasProperty method. The Description property contains a StylusPointDescription that specifies which properties are in the StylusPoint. All StylusPoint objects contain properties that specify the (x, y) coordinates and pressure.

The following example gets the property names and values for each StylusPoint in a StylusPointCollection. This example assumes that there is a TextBlock called packetOutput.

Private Sub WriteStylusPointValues(ByVal points As StylusPointCollection) 
    Dim pointsDescription As StylusPointDescription = points.Description
    
    Dim properties As ReadOnlyCollection(Of StylusPointPropertyInfo) = _
                            pointsDescription.GetStylusPointProperties()
    
    ' Write the name and and value of each property in
    ' every stylus point.
    Dim packetWriter As New StringWriter()

    packetWriter.WriteLine("{0} stylus points", points.Count.ToString())

    For Each stylusPoint As StylusPoint In points

        packetWriter.WriteLine("Stylus Point info")
        packetWriter.WriteLine("X: {0}", stylusPoint.X.ToString())
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Y: {0}", stylusPoint.Y.ToString())
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Pressure: {0}", stylusPoint.PressureFactor.ToString())

        ' Get the property name and value for each StylusPoint.
        ' Note that this loop reports the X, Y, and pressure values differantly than 
        ' getting their values above.
        For i As Integer = 0 To pointsDescription.PropertyCount - 1

            Dim currentProperty As StylusPointProperty = properties(i)

            ' GetStylusPointPropertyName is defined below and returns the
            ' name of the property.
            packetWriter.Write("{0}: ", GetStylusPointPropertyName(currentProperty))
            packetWriter.WriteLine(stylusPoint.GetPropertyValue(currentProperty).ToString())
        Next i

        packetWriter.WriteLine()

    Next stylusPoint

    packetOutput.Text = packetWriter.ToString()

End Sub 'WriteStylusPointValues


...

' Use reflection to get the name of currentProperty.
Private Function GetStylusPointPropertyName(ByVal currentProperty As StylusPointProperty) As String 
    Dim guid As Guid = currentProperty.Id
    
    ' Iterate through the StylusPointProperties to find the StylusPointProperty
    ' that matches currentProperty, then return the name.
    Dim theFieldInfo As FieldInfo

    For Each theFieldInfo In GetType(StylusPointProperties).GetFields()

        Dim pointProperty As StylusPointProperty = _
            CType(theFieldInfo.GetValue(currentProperty), StylusPointProperty)

        If pointProperty.Id = guid Then
            Return theFieldInfo.Name
        End If

    Next theFieldInfo

    Return "Not found"

End Function 'GetStylusPointPropertyName
