InkPicture.Gesture Event

InkPicture.Gesture Event

Occurs when an application-specific gesture is recognized.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public Event Gesture As InkCollectorGestureEventHandler
C# public event InkCollectorGestureEventHandler Gesture;
Managed C++ public: __event InkCollectorGestureEventHandler Gesture;

Remarks

Application gestures are defined as gestures that are supported within your application.

For this event to occur, the InkPicture control must have interest in a set of application gestures. To set the InkPicture control's interest in a set of gestures, call the SetGestureStatus method.

For a list of specific application gestures, see the ApplicationGesture enumeration type. For more information about application gestures, see Making Windows Work with a Pen.

The event handler receives an argument of type InkCollectorGestureEventArgs that contains data about this event.

When you create an InkCollectorGestureEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate.

When the CollectionMode property is set to GestureOnly, the timeout between when a user adds a gesture and when the Gesture event occurs is a fixed value that you cannot alter programmatically. Gesture recognition is faster in InkAndGesture mode.

To prevent the collection of ink while in InkAndGesture mode:

To prevent the flow of ink while gesturing, set the DynamicRendering property to false.

In addition to firing when inserting ink, the Gesture event is fired when in Select or Delete mode. You are responsible for tracking the editing mode and should be aware of the mode before interpreting the event.

Note: To recognize gestures, you must use an object or control that can collect ink.

Note: The InkPicture object uses the InkCollectorGestureEventHandler delegate to add a gesture event handler.

Examples

[C#]

This C# example displays gesture event information in the status bar of the main form window. Starting with a generic generated application, add an InkPicture called theInkPicture and a status bar called statusBar1 to the main form and add the following code.

//...
using Microsoft.Ink;

namespace CSGestureEvents
{
    public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
    {
        private System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar statusBar1;
        private Microsoft.Ink.InkPicture theInkPicture;
        // ... The generated code will be here.
        //Add this code following the implementation of Main():

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            theInkPicture.CollectionMode = CollectionMode.InkAndGesture;
            ClearAppGestures();
            // Turn on interest in the ChevronDown and ChevronUp application gestures.
            theInkPicture.SetGestureStatus(ApplicationGesture.ChevronDown, true);
            theInkPicture.SetGestureStatus(ApplicationGesture.ChevronUp, true);
            theInkPicture.Gesture += new InkCollectorGestureEventHandler(Gesture_Event);
            theInkPicture.SystemGesture += new InkCollectorSystemGestureEventHandler(SystemGesture_Event);
            theInkPicture.InkEnabled = true;
        }

        private void Gesture_Event(object sender,
            InkCollectorGestureEventArgs e)
        {
            ApplicationGesture theGestureId = e.Gestures[0].Id;
            statusBar1.Text = theGestureId.ToString();
            // Cancelling the gesture will cause the ink to remain.
            if (theGestureId == ApplicationGesture.ChevronDown)
                e.Cancel = true;
        }

        private void SystemGesture_Event(object sender,
            InkCollectorSystemGestureEventArgs e)
        {
            SystemGesture theGestureId = e.Id;
            statusBar1.Text = "System: " + theGestureId.ToString() +
                " " + e.Point.ToString();
        }

        // Set all of the ApplicationGestures' status
        // to false on the InkPicture.
        private void ClearAppGestures()
        {
            ApplicationGesture test = ApplicationGesture.NoGesture;
            System.Array theGestureIds = System.Enum.GetValues(test.GetType());
            foreach (ApplicationGesture theGestureId in theGestureIds)
            {
                theInkPicture.SetGestureStatus(theGestureId, false);
            }
        }
    }
}

[Visual Basic .NET]

This Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET example displays gesture event information in the status bar of the main form window. Starting with a generic generated application, add an InkPicture called theInkPicture and a status bar called statusBar1 to the main form and add the following code.

Imports Microsoft.Ink
