Examples

The following example defines a method that returns a string. The string contains information about a specified InkRecognizer. Not shown in this example is the helper method ListCapabilities, which uses reflection to return information about the capabilities of the InkRecognizer.

' Generates a string containing information about the specified InkRecognizer.

' <param name="theInkRecognizer"> 
' The InkRecognizer from which to gather the information. 
' </param> 
' <returns> 
' A string containing information about the specified InkRecognizer. 
' </returns> 
Private Function GetInkRecognizerData(ByVal theInkRecognizer As InkRecognizer) As String 
    ' Create a StringBuilder in which to collect the information. 
    Dim result As New System.Text.StringBuilder()

    ' Add the name of the recognizer.
    result.AppendLine(String.Format("Name: {0}", theInkRecognizer.Name))

    ' Add the GUID of the recognizer.
    result.AppendLine(String.Format("   Guid: {0}", theInkRecognizer.Guid))

    ' Add the vendor of the recognizer.
    result.AppendLine(String.Format("   Vendor: {0}", theInkRecognizer.Vendor))

    ' Add the languages the recognizer supports.
    result.AppendLine("   Supports the following languages:")
    If 0 = theInkRecognizer.GetLanguages().Length Then
        result.AppendLine("      No languages supported.")
    Else 
        Dim lcid As Integer 
        For Each lcid In theInkRecognizer.GetLanguages()
            Dim theCultureInfo As New System.Globalization.CultureInfo(lcid)
            result.AppendLine(String.Format("      0x{0:x4}: {1}", lcid, theCultureInfo.EnglishName))
        Next lcid
    End If 

    ' Add the capabilities of the recognizer.
    result.AppendLine(String.Format("   Capabilities: 0x{0:x}", theInkRecognizer.Capabilities))

    ' List each capability separately, using a helper method.
    result.Append(Me.ListCapabilities(theInkRecognizer.Capabilities))

    result.AppendLine(String.Format("      {0} properties supported.", _
        theInkRecognizer.GetSupportedProperties().Length.ToString()))

    Return result.ToString()
