Returns all of the ContextNode objects that match the specified criteria.

Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink.Analysis (in Microsoft.Ink.Analysis.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function FindNodes ( _
    criteria As MatchesCriteriaCallback, _
    data As Object _
) As ContextNodeCollection
'Usage
Dim instance As InkAnalyzer 
Dim criteria As MatchesCriteriaCallback 
Dim data As Object 
Dim returnValue As ContextNodeCollection 

returnValue = instance.FindNodes(criteria, _
    data)

public ContextNodeCollection FindNodes(
    MatchesCriteriaCallback criteria,
    Object data
)

public:
ContextNodeCollection^ FindNodes(
    MatchesCriteriaCallback^ criteria, 
    Object^ data
)

public function FindNodes(
    criteria : MatchesCriteriaCallback, 
    data : Object
) : ContextNodeCollection

Parameters

criteria
Type: Microsoft.Ink.MatchesCriteriaCallback

A delegate function that determines if a ContextNode object meets or fails its specified criteria.

data
Type: System.Object

Optional extra data that may be passed into the delegate function. This method passes this data to the delegate with each call and does not modify or examine it.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Ink.ContextNodeCollection
A ContextNodeCollection containing all of the ContextNode objects that match the specified criteria.

Examples

The following example finds the collection of context nodes in the InkAnalyzer, theInkAnalyzer, that satisfy the criteria specified in the LineIsLowerThan delegate. The 32-bit signed integer, yValue, is passed to the LineIsLowerThan delegate.

Dim lineIsLowerThanCallback As _
    New Microsoft.Ink.MatchesCriteriaCallback(AddressOf LineIsLowerThan)
Dim nodesBelowYValue As ContextNodeCollection = _
    theInkAnalyzer.FindNodes(lineIsLowerThanCallback, yValue)

           Microsoft.Ink.MatchesCriteriaCallback
                lineIsLowerThanCallback = new Microsoft.Ink.MatchesCriteriaCallback(LineIsLowerThan);
            ContextNodeCollection nodesBelowYValue =
                theInkAnalyzer.FindNodes(lineIsLowerThanCallback, yValue);

The following example defines the LineIsLowerThan method, which returns true if the ContextNode is a LineNode and if the bottom of the bounding box is lower than an integer that is passed in. (Note that higher y-coordinate values mean lower on the screen.) Therefore, the nodesBelowYValue collection contains all lines with strokes below the value, yValue.

Public Function LineIsLowerThan(ByVal node As Microsoft.Ink.ContextNode, _
                                ByVal data As Object) As Boolean 

    ' Return false if not a line 
    If Not TypeOf node Is LineNode Then 
        Return False 
    End If 
    ' Check if bottom is lower than yValue passed in 
    Dim yValue As Integer = Fix(data)
    Return node.Location.GetBounds().Bottom > yValue

End Function 'LineIsLowerThan

       public bool LineIsLowerThan(Microsoft.Ink.ContextNode node, object data)
        {
            // Return false if not a line 
            if (!(node is LineNode))
                return false;

            // Check if bottom is lower than yValue passed in 
            int yValue = (int)data;
            return (node.Location.GetBounds().Bottom > yValue);
        }
