Examples

The following example creates a StylusPlugIn that checks for the Down gesture. The StylusPlugIn calls NotifyWhenProcessed in OnStylusUp to subscribe to the OnStylusUpProcessed method, which is called from the application thread.

class RecognizerPlugin : StylusPlugIn
{
    GestureRecognizer recognizer;
    
    // StylusPointCollection that contains the stylus points of the current
    // stroke.
    StylusPointCollection points;

    // Keeps track of the stylus to check whether two styluses are used on the
    // digitizer.
    int currentStylus;

    public RecognizerPlugin()
        : base()
    {
        recognizer = new GestureRecognizer();
    }

    // Collect the points as the user draws the stroke.
    protected override void OnStylusDown(RawStylusInput rawStylusInput)
    {
        // If points is not null, there is already a stroke taking place
        // on the digitizer, so don't create a new StylusPointsCollection.
        if (points == null)
        {
            points = new StylusPointCollection(rawStylusInput.GetStylusPoints().Description);
            points.Add(rawStylusInput.GetStylusPoints());
            currentStylus = rawStylusInput.StylusDeviceId;
        }
    }
