Remarks

Note

For recognizers of Latin script, the factoids defined in this class are provided for backward compatibility only. For new development, you are encouraged to use the values defined in the InputScope. For details, see Improving Tablet PC Recognition Accuracy by Setting Context.

Use these identifiers to specify which factoid should be used during recognition.

The following combinations of factoids are supported for western languages only. These do not have separate definitions, but are acceptable string literal inputs to the Factoid property of objects that use factoids. These factoid string constants allow the input to match any of the factoids in the expression.

Combination	Definition
"WEB|WORDLIST"	The Web factoid or the word list.
"EMAIL|WORDLIST"	The Email factoid or the word list.
"FILENAME|WEB|WORDLIST">	The Filename factoid or the Web factoid or the word list.

If you are using the InkEdit control, the factoid can be set as a property of the control as in this Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET example:

InkEdit1.Factoid = Factoid.Hiragana

If you are using the Tablet PC Platform APIs, you can set the Factoid property on a RecognizerContext object, as in this C# example:

theRecognizerContext.Factoid = Factoid.PostalCode;

Alternatively, you can set this property with the actual factoid string constant:

theRecognizerContext.Factoid = "POSTALCODE";

Note

Factoid string constants are case sensitive. For more information about factoids and how to use them, see Improving Tablet PC Recognition Accuracy by Setting Context. To determine whether a factoid is available in a specific language, see Supported Factoids from Version 1.
