Article
10/19/2012

Returns a value that indicates whether a PacketProperty field, identified with a globally unique identifier (GUID), is supported by all Tablet objects in this Tablets collection.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function IsPacketPropertySupported ( _
    g As Guid _
) As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As Tablets 
Dim g As Guid 
Dim returnValue As Boolean 

returnValue = instance.IsPacketPropertySupported(g)

public bool IsPacketPropertySupported(
    Guid g
)

public:
bool IsPacketPropertySupported(
    Guid g
)

public function IsPacketPropertySupported(
    g : Guid
) : boolean

Parameters

g
Type: System.Guid

The Guid identifier for the requested PacketProperty field.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
Returns a value that indicates whether a PacketProperty field, identified with a globally unique identifier (GUID), is supported by all Tablet objects in this Tablets collection.

Value	Meaning
true	The PacketProperty field is supported throughout this Tablets collection.
false	The PacketProperty field is not supported throughout this Tablets collection.

Remarks

This method determines if a Tablets collection supports various fields of the PacketProperty class.

Note

When this method is called on the Tablets collection, it queries all of the tablets on the system. If any of them does not support the property, it returns false. Call the Tablet.IsPacketPropertySupported method on an individual Tablet object to determine whether the device supports a known property.

Examples

This example reports which PacketProperty fields are available for all Tablet objects in the Tablets collection, allTablets.
