AnalysisAlternate.AlternateNodes Property
Gets the ContextNode objects that are associated with this alternate.
Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink.Analysis (in Microsoft.Ink.Analysis.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property AlternateNodes As ContextNodeCollection
'Usage
Dim instance As AnalysisAlternate
Dim value As ContextNodeCollection
value = instance.AlternateNodes
public ContextNodeCollection AlternateNodes { get; }
public:
property ContextNodeCollection^ AlternateNodes {
ContextNodeCollection^ get ();
}
public function get AlternateNodes () : ContextNodeCollection
Property Value
Type: Microsoft.Ink.ContextNodeCollection
The ContextNode objects that are associated with this alternate.
Remarks
Because they correspond to alternates, these ContextNode objects are not descendants of the RootNode of the InkAnalyzer unless they are the top alternate, which is the first element in an AnalysisAlternateCollection.
The returned nodes are the leaf nodes corresponding to the alternate.
AlternateNodes always returns a collection of the leaf nodes, that is, when called on a LineNode the collection will contain InkWordNodes, not the LineNodes.
Note
The alternate nodes in this version have a ParentNode property equal to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Examples
This example checks to see if an AnalysisAlternate, selectedAlternate, has the same segmentation as the top alternate in an AnalysisAlternateCollection, currentAlternates. Segmentation refers to how the strokes are broken up into ContextNode objects.
Dim hasSameSegmentationAsTop As Boolean = True
If currentAlternates.Count > 0 Then
Dim topAlternate As AnalysisAlternate = currentAlternates(0)
' First check if selected alternate is the top alternate
If selectedAlternate.Equals(topAlternate) Then
hasSameSegmentationAsTop = True
Else
' Check to see if they have the same strokes
If topAlternate.AlternateNodes.Count <> selectedAlternate.AlternateNodes.Count Then
hasSameSegmentationAsTop = False
Else
' Check that each node matches the alternates
Dim index As Integer
For index = 0 To topAlternate.AlternateNodes.Count - 1
If topAlternate.AlternateNodes(index).Strokes.Count <> _
selectedAlternate.AlternateNodes(index).Strokes.Count Then
hasSameSegmentationAsTop = False
Exit For
End If
Dim topStroke As Stroke
For Each topStroke In topAlternate.AlternateNodes(index).Strokes
If (Not selectedAlternate.AlternateNodes(index).Strokes.Contains(topStroke)) Then
hasSameSegmentationAsTop = False
Exit For
End If
Next topStroke
If Not hasSameSegmentationAsTop Then
Exit For
End If
Next index
End If
End If
End If
bool hasSameSegmentationAsTop = true;
if (currentAlternates.Count > 0)
{
AnalysisAlternate topAlternate = currentAlternates[0];
// First check if selected alternate is the top alternate
if (selectedAlternate == topAlternate)
{
hasSameSegmentationAsTop = true;
}
else
{
// Check to see if they have the same strokes
if (topAlternate.AlternateNodes.Count != selectedAlternate.AlternateNodes.Count)
{
hasSameSegmentationAsTop = false;
}
else
{
// Check that each node matches the alternates
for (int i = 0;
(i < topAlternate.AlternateNodes.Count) && hasSameSegmentationAsTop; i++)
{
if (topAlternate.AlternateNodes[i].Strokes.Count !=
selectedAlternate.AlternateNodes[i].Strokes.Count)
{
hasSameSegmentationAsTop = false;
break;

foreach (Stroke stroke in topAlternate.AlternateNodes[i].Strokes)
{
if (!selectedAlternate.AlternateNodes[i].Strokes.Contains(stroke))
{
