Článek

Returns the metrics data for a known PacketProperty object.

Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink (in Microsoft.Ink.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetPropertyMetrics ( _
    id As Guid _
) As TabletPropertyMetrics
'Usage
Dim instance As Tablet 
Dim id As Guid 
Dim returnValue As TabletPropertyMetrics 

returnValue = instance.GetPropertyMetrics(id)

public TabletPropertyMetrics GetPropertyMetrics(
    Guid id
)

public:
TabletPropertyMetrics GetPropertyMetrics(
    Guid id
)

public function GetPropertyMetrics(
    id : Guid
) : TabletPropertyMetrics

Parameters

id
Type: System.Guid

The Guid identifier for the PacketProperty that you are requesting.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Ink.TabletPropertyMetrics
This method returns a TabletPropertyMetrics object for the requested property that is supported by the tablet.

Remarks

The properties for which you retrieve metrics may include the time that a packet was generated or the downward pressure of the pen tip on the tablet surface.

Note

This function can be re-entered if called within certain message handlers, causing unexpected results. Take care to avoid a reentrant call when handling any of the following messages: WM_ACTIVATE, WM_ACTIVATEAPP, WM_NCACTIVATE, WM_PAINT; WM_SYSCOMMAND if wParam is set to SC_HOTKEY or SC_TASKLIST; and WM_SYSKEYDOWN (when processing Alt-Tab or Alt-Esc key combinations). This is an issue with single-threaded apartment model applications.

Examples

This example reports on the property metrics of each supported property of the default Tablet object of the Tablets collection.

    Dim SB As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder(1024)

    SB.AppendLine("Propert metrics of the default tablet: " + defTablet.Name)
    SB.Append(GetPropertyMetrics(defTablet, PacketProperty.AltitudeOrientation, "AltitudeOrientation"))
