SimpleOrientationSensor.OrientationChanged Event

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.Devices.Sensors

Occurs each time the simple orientation sensor reports a new sensor reading

C#

public event TypedEventHandler<SimpleOrientationSensor,SimpleOrientationSensorOrientationChangedEventArgs> OrientationChanged;

Event Type

TypedEventHandler<SimpleOrientationSensor,SimpleOrientationSensorOrientationChangedEventArgs>

Examples

The following example demonstrates how a UWP app built with C# and XAML registers its OrientationChanged event handler.

C#

private void ScenarioEnable(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (_sensor != null)
    {
        Window.Current.VisibilityChanged += new WindowVisibilityChangedEventHandler(VisibilityChanged);
        _sensor.OrientationChanged += new TypedEventHandler<SimpleOrientationSensor, SimpleOrientationSensorOrientationChangedEventArgs>(OrientationChanged);

        ScenarioEnableButton.IsEnabled = false;
        ScenarioDisableButton.IsEnabled = true;

        // Display the current orientation once while waiting for the next orientation change
        DisplayOrientation(ScenarioOutput_Orientation, _sensor.GetCurrentOrientation());
    }
    else
    {
        rootPage.NotifyUser("No simple orientation sensor found", NotifyType.StatusMessage);
    }
}

The following example demonstrates how a UWP app built with XAML registers an OrientationChanged event handler.

C#

async private void OrientationChanged(object sender, SimpleOrientationSensorOrientationChangedEventArgs e)
{
    await Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
    {
        DisplayOrientation(ScenarioOutput_Orientation, e.Orientation);
    });
}

C#

private void DisplayOrientation(TextBlock tb, SimpleOrientation orientation)
{
    switch (orientation)
    {
        case SimpleOrientation.NotRotated:
            tb.Text = "Not Rotated";
            break;
        case SimpleOrientation.Rotated90DegreesCounterclockwise:
            tb.Text = "Rotated 90 Degrees Counterclockwise";
            break;
        case SimpleOrientation.Rotated180DegreesCounterclockwise:
            tb.Text = "Rotated 180 Degrees Counterclockwise";
            break;
        case SimpleOrientation.Rotated270DegreesCounterclockwise:
            tb.Text = "Rotated 270 Degrees Counterclockwise";
            break;
        case SimpleOrientation.Faceup:
            tb.Text = "Faceup";
            break;
        case SimpleOrientation.Facedown:
            tb.Text = "Facedown";
            break;
        default:
            tb.Text = "Unknown orientation";
            break;
    }
}
