InkCollector.TabletAdded Event

Article
12/12/2007

Occurs when a Tablet object is added to the system.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Event TabletAdded As InkCollectorTabletAddedEventHandler
'Usage
Dim instance As InkCollector
Dim handler As InkCollectorTabletAddedEventHandler

AddHandler instance.TabletAdded, handler

public event InkCollectorTabletAddedEventHandler TabletAdded

public:
event InkCollectorTabletAddedEventHandler^ TabletAdded {
    void add (InkCollectorTabletAddedEventHandler^ value);
    void remove (InkCollectorTabletAddedEventHandler^ value);
}

/** @event */
public void add_TabletAdded (InkCollectorTabletAddedEventHandler value)

/** @event */
public void remove_TabletAdded (InkCollectorTabletAddedEventHandler value)

In JScript, you can handle the events defined by a class, but you cannot define your own.

Not applicable.

Remarks

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

When you create a InkCollectorTabletAddedEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that handles 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. For performance reasons, the default event interest is off but is turned on automatically if you add an event handler.

Example

This C# example uses several event handlers to display the state of the Cursor objects, CursorButton objects and Tablet objects. The application has a status bar with three panels—sbPanelCursor, sbPanelButton, and sbPanelTablet—in which messages appear when events are received.
