TouchFrameEventArgs Class

Definition

Provides data for the FrameReported event.

public sealed class TouchFrameEventArgs : EventArgs
Inheritance
TouchFrameEventArgs

Examples

The following example handles the FrameReported event and accesses the touch data in the TouchFrameEventArgs. When a touch is pressed 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);
                }

                else if (_touchPoint.Action == TouchAction.Move && e.GetPrimaryTouchPoint(this.canvas1) != null)
                {   
                    // This is the first (primary) touch point. Just record its position.
                    if (_touchPoint.TouchDevice.Id == e.GetPrimaryTouchPoint(this.canvas1).TouchDevice.Id)
                    {
                        pt1.X = _touchPoint.Position.X;
                        pt1.Y = _touchPoint.Position.Y;
                    }

                    // This is not the first touch point. Draw a line from the first point to this one.
                    else if (_touchPoint.TouchDevice.Id != e.GetPrimaryTouchPoint(this.canvas1).TouchDevice.Id)
                    {
                        pt2.X = _touchPoint.Position.X;
                        pt2.Y = _touchPoint.Position.Y;

                        Line _line = new Line();
                        _line.Stroke = new RadialGradientBrush(Colors.White, Colors.Black);
                        _line.X1 = pt1.X;
                        _line.X2 = pt2.X;
                        _line.Y1 = pt1.Y;
                        _line.Y2 = pt2.Y;
                        _line.StrokeThickness = 2;
                        this.canvas1.Children.Add(_line);
                    }
                }

                else if (_touchPoint.Action == TouchAction.Up)
                {
                    // If this touch is captured to the canvas, release it.
                    if (_touchPoint.TouchDevice.Captured == this.canvas1)
                    {
                        this.canvas1.ReleaseTouchCapture(_touchPoint.TouchDevice);
                    }
                }
            }                        
        }
    }
}

Remarks

The FrameReported event is included in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) to support compatibility with Silverlight. If you do not have to ensure compatibility with Silverlight, use the touch events, such as TouchDown and TouchMove, on UIElement, UIElement3D, or ContentElement.

Use the TouchFrameEventArgs to get the TouchPoint values that are relevant to the touch event. From the TouchPoint, you can get the Position of the touch and determine whether the TouchAction was a Down, Move, or Up action. You can also use the TouchPoint to get the TouchDevice. From the TouchDevice, you can determine the device Id and get information about the element that is touched.

Properties

Timestamp

Gets the time stamp for this event.
