Touch.FrameReported Event

Definition

Occurs when a touch message is sent.

public:
 static event System::Windows::Input::TouchFrameEventHandler ^ FrameReported;
public static event System.Windows.Input.TouchFrameEventHandler FrameReported;
member this.FrameReported : System.Windows.Input.TouchFrameEventHandler 
Public Shared Custom Event FrameReported As TouchFrameEventHandler 
Public Shared Event FrameReported As TouchFrameEventHandler 

Event Type

Examples

The following example handles the FrameReported event. When a touch presses on the Canvas, the TouchDevice is captured to the Canvas. When the touch is lifted, the TouchDevice is released. When a touch moves across the Canvas, the Id is checked. If the move came from the first touch, its location is recorded. If the move came from the second touch, a line is drawn from the position of the first touch to the position of the second touch.

This example is part of a larger example that is available in the Touch class overview.

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    // Variables for tracking the position of two points.
    Point pt1, pt2 = new Point();
    
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        Touch.FrameReported += new TouchFrameEventHandler(Touch_FrameReported);
    }

    void Touch_FrameReported(object sender, TouchFrameEventArgs e)
    {
        if (this.canvas1 != null)
        {
            foreach (TouchPoint _touchPoint in e.GetTouchPoints(this.canvas1))
            {
                if (_touchPoint.Action == TouchAction.Down)
                {
                    // Clear the canvas and capture the touch to it.
                    this.canvas1.Children.Clear();
                    _touchPoint.TouchDevice.Capture(this.canvas1);
                }

Remarks

A frame is one in a series of multitouch messages or touch points. You can respond to touches by handling the FrameReported event and accessing the details of the TouchPoint from the TouchFrameEventArgs event data.

The FrameReported event does not use the same event model as other WPF input events, such as TouchDown and TouchMove. Instead of being exposed as an element-specific event that potentially routes through the object tree of a UI, the FrameReported event is a single event that is handled at the application level. Therefore, you cannot use the sender parameter of the event handler to determine what element is touched.
