InkCollector.DesiredPacketDescription Property

Gets or sets interest in aspects of the packets associated with ink drawn on the InkCollector object.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public Property DesiredPacketDescription As Guid()
C# public Guid[] DesiredPacketDescription { get; set; }
Managed C++ public: __property Guid* get_DesiredPacketDescription();
public: __property void set_DesiredPacketDescription(Guid*);

Property Value

System.Guid[]. The array of Guid Leave Site objects, each of which represents an aspect of the packets associated with ink drawn on the InkCollector object.

This property is read/write. This property has no default value.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException Leave Site:
ObjectDisposedException Leave Site:

Remarks

The packet description is an array of Guid Leave Site objects from the PacketProperty object.

By default, DesiredPacketDescription contains X, Y, and NormalPressure from the PacketProperty object. If you set DesiredPacketDescription to anything else, X and Y are also added. For example, if you set DesiredPacketDescription to ButtonPressure only, a get returns {X, Y, ButtonPressure}, not just {ButtonPressure}.

When DesiredPacketDescription is set to something that includes PacketStatus, PacketStatus is added in the third position. For example, if you set DesiredPacketDescription to (a, b, c, d, PacketStatus, e, f), a get returns (X, Y, PacketStatus, a, b, c, d, e, f).

In multitablet mode, this is the packet description for all of the tablet devices. If any of the devices do not support a known packet description property, the property data is not returned.

Changes to this property do not affect incoming packet data until the Enabled property changes from false to true.

Examples

[C#]

This C# example draws a rectangle on the form with a bold outline when the in-air packets are within the rectangle and with a narrow outline when the packets are outside the rectangle. This demonstrates how to use the packet events to control application behaviors.
