Remarks

Caution: The Strokes.ToString method is deprecated. It should not be used for handwriting recognition applications; however, it can be used for debugging purposes.

When you call the ToString method, the default Recognizer object performs recognition on the Strokes collection. The return value is a string representation of the TopAlternate property of the RecognitionResult for the current Strokes collection.

The ToString method of the Strokes collection returns null (Nothing in Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET) if:

  • The Strokes collection is empty.
  • A default recognizer cannot be created.
  • The default recognizer does not support free input.

Note: The return value does not reflect any changes to the user dictionary or to the input locale during the lifetime of the corresponding Ink object.
