ContextRequestedEventArgs.TryGetPosition(UIElement, Point) Method

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.UI.Xaml.Input

Gets the x- and y-coordinates of the pointer position, optionally evaluated against a coordinate origin of a supplied UIElement.

public:
 virtual bool TryGetPosition(UIElement ^ relativeTo, [Out] Point & point) = TryGetPosition;

bool TryGetPosition(UIElement const& relativeTo, [Out] Point & point);

public bool TryGetPosition(UIElement relativeTo, out Point point);

Public Function TryGetPosition (relativeTo As UIElement, ByRef point As Point) As Boolean

Parameters

relativeTo

UIElement

Any UIElement-derived object that is connected to the same object tree. To specify the object relative to the overall coordinate system, use a relativeTo  value of null.

point

Point

A Point that represents the current x- and y-coordinates of the mouse pointer position. If null was passed as relativeTo, this coordinate is for the overall window. If a relativeTo value other than null was passed, this coordinate is relative to the object referenced by relativeTo.

Returns

Boolean

bool

true if the context request was initiated by a pointer device; otherwise, false.
