StylusPoint Structure
Assembly: PresentationCore (in presentationcore.dll)
XML Namespace: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation
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 void WriteStylusPointValues(StylusPointCollection points)
{
StylusPointDescription pointsDescription = points.Description;
ReadOnlyCollection<StylusPointPropertyInfo> properties =
pointsDescription.GetStylusPointProperties();
// Write the name and and value of each property in
// every stylus point.
StringWriter packetWriter = new StringWriter();
packetWriter.WriteLine("{0} stylus points", points.Count.ToString());
foreach (StylusPoint 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 (int i = 0; i < pointsDescription.PropertyCount; ++i)
{
StylusPointProperty currentProperty = properties[i];
// GetStylusPointPropertyName is defined below and returns the
// name of the property.
packetWriter.Write("{0}: ", GetStylusPointPropertyName(currentProperty));
packetWriter.WriteLine(stylusPoint.GetPropertyValue(currentProperty).ToString());
}
packetWriter.WriteLine();
}
packetOutput.Text = packetWriter.ToString();
}
...
// Use reflection to get the name of currentProperty.
private string GetStylusPointPropertyName(StylusPointProperty currentProperty)
{
Guid guid = currentProperty.Id;
// Iterate through the StylusPointProperties to find the StylusPointProperty
// that matches currentProperty, then return the name.
foreach (FieldInfo theFieldInfo
in typeof(StylusPointProperties).GetFields())
{
StylusPointProperty property = (StylusPointProperty) theFieldInfo.GetValue(currentProperty);
if (property.Id == guid)
{
return theFieldInfo.Name;
}
}
return "Not found";
}
