Returns up to the specified number of analysis alternates for the nodes in a specified ContextNodeCollection.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetAlternates ( _
    nodes As ContextNodeCollection, _
    maximumAlternates As Integer _
) As AnalysisAlternateCollection
'Usage
Dim instance As InkAnalyzer 
Dim nodes As ContextNodeCollection 
Dim maximumAlternates As Integer 
Dim returnValue As AnalysisAlternateCollection 

returnValue = instance.GetAlternates(nodes, _
    maximumAlternates)

public AnalysisAlternateCollection GetAlternates(
    ContextNodeCollection nodes,
    int maximumAlternates
)

public:
AnalysisAlternateCollection^ GetAlternates(
    ContextNodeCollection^ nodes, 
    int maximumAlternates
)

public function GetAlternates(
    nodes : ContextNodeCollection, 
    maximumAlternates : int
) : AnalysisAlternateCollection

Parameters

nodes
Type: Microsoft.Ink.ContextNodeCollection

The nodes for which to get analysis alternates.

maximumAlternates
Type: System.Int32

The number of analysis alternates to return.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Ink.AnalysisAlternateCollection
Up to maximumAlternates of the top analysis alternates for nodes.

Remarks

The top alternate is returned as the first alternate of the collection.

The ContextNode objects in nodes do not have to represent adjacent areas of the document.

For each analysis hint in nodes, the InkAnalyzer returns only the top alternate.

Examples

This example gets up to five of the top alternates for the ContextNodeCollection, theContextNodes, associated with the InkAnalyzer, theInkAnalyzer . It then adds the recognized strings for the alternates to the System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection, theAlternateStrings.

' Get 5 analysis alternates for the context node collection and add the 
' recognized strings to a string collection.
theAlternateCollection = Me.theInkAnalyzer.GetAlternates(theContextNodes, 5)
theAlternateStrings.Clear()
Dim theAlternate As Microsoft.Ink.AnalysisAlternate
For Each theAlternate In theAlternateCollection
    theAlternateStrings.Add(theAlternate.RecognizedString)
Next theAlternate

// Get 5 analysis alternates for the context node collection and add the 
// recognized strings to a string collection.
theAlternateCollection = this.theInkAnalyzer.GetAlternates(theContextNodes, 5);
theAlternateStrings.Clear();
foreach (Microsoft.Ink.AnalysisAlternate theAlternate
    in theAlternateCollection)
{
    theAlternateStrings.Add(theAlternate.RecognizedString);
}
