InkPicture.CursorDown Event

Article
12/12/2007

Occurs when the cursor tip contacts the digitizing tablet surface.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Event CursorDown As InkCollectorCursorDownEventHandler
'Usage
Dim instance As InkPicture
Dim handler As InkCollectorCursorDownEventHandler

AddHandler instance.CursorDown, handler

public event InkCollectorCursorDownEventHandler CursorDown

public:
event InkCollectorCursorDownEventHandler^ CursorDown {
    void add (InkCollectorCursorDownEventHandler^ value);
    void remove (InkCollectorCursorDownEventHandler^ value);
}

/** @event */
public void add_CursorDown (InkCollectorCursorDownEventHandler value)

/** @event */
public void remove_CursorDown (InkCollectorCursorDownEventHandler 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 InkCollectorCursorDownEventArgs that contains data about this event.

When you create a InkCollectorCursorDownEventHandler 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.

This event may have an adverse effect on ink performance if too much code is executed in the event handlers. To improve real-time ink performance, hide the mouse cursor while inking. To do so, hide the mouse cursor in the MouseDown event handler, and show the mouse cursor in the MouseUp 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.
