IContextNode::GetStrokeCount method

Gets the number of strokes associated with the IContextNode object.

Syntax

HRESULT GetStrokeCount(
  [out] ULONG *pulStrokeCount
);

Parameters

pulStrokeCount [out]

The number of strokes associated with the IContextNode object.

Return value

For a description of the return values, see Classes and Interfaces - Ink Analysis.

Remarks

Only ink leaf context nodes have associated stroke data (see IContextNode::GetType).

Examples

This example shows a method, ExploreContextNode, that examines an IContextNode. The method does the following:

  • Gets the context node's type.
  • Examines specific properties of the node type by calling a helper method, if the context node is an unclassified ink, analysis hint, or custom recognizer node.
  • Examines each subnode by calling itself, if the node has subnodes.
  • Examines the stroke data for the node by calling a helper method, if the node is an ink leaf node.

    IContextNode *pContextNode)
