GeometryHitTestParameters Class
Specifies a Geometry as the parameter to be used for hit testing a visual tree.
System.Windows.Media::HitTestParameters
System.Windows.Media::GeometryHitTestParameters
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
The GeometryHitTestParameters type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | GeometryHitTestParameters | Initializes a new instance of the GeometryHitTestParameters class, using the specified Geometry. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | HitGeometry | Gets the Geometry that defines the hit test geometry for this GeometryHitTestParameters instance. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
With the GeometryHitTestParameters class, you can use a Geometry value for hit testing, to determine whether any visual object intersects with the Geometry value.
You can also hit test with a Point value by creating a PointHitTestParameters object.
Note |
|---|
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) hit testing only considers the filled area of a geometry during a hit test. If you create a point Geometry, the hit test would not intersect anything because a point has no area. |
The following example shows how to set up a hit test using GeometryHitTestParameters for the HitTest method. The Point value that is passed to the OnMouseDown method is used to create a Geometry object in order to expand the range of the hit test.
The IntersectionDetail property of GeometryHitTestResult provides information about the results of a hit test that uses a Geometry as a hit test parameter. The following illustration shows the relationship between the hit test geometry (the blue circle) and the target object (the red square).
