InkDisp class
Represents the collected strokes of ink within an ink space.
InkDisp has these types of members:
The InkDisp class has these events.
Event | Description |
---|---|
InkAdded | Occurs when a stroke is added to the InkDisp object. |
InkDeleted | Occurs when a stroke is deleted from the InkDisp object. |
The InkDisp class defines these interfaces.
Interface | Description |
---|---|
IInkDisp | This object implements the IInkDisp COM interface. |
The InkDisp class has these methods.
Method | Description |
---|---|
AddStrokesAtRectangle | Inserts a stroke collection into the InkDisp object at the specified rectangle. |
CanPaste | Indicates whether the IDataObject can be converted to an InkDisp object. |
Clip | Removes portions of a stroke or collection of strokes that are outside a rectangle. |
ClipboardCopy | Copies the InkStrokes collection to the Clipboard. |
ClipboardCopyWithRectangle | Copies the IInkStrokeDisp objects that are contained within the known rectangle to the Clipboard. |
ClipboardPaste | Copies the IDataObject from the Clipboard to the InkDisp object. |
Clone | Creates a duplicate InkDisp object. |
CreateStroke | Creates a stroke from points or packet data. |
CreateStrokes | Creates an InkStrokes collection for this InkDisp object. |
DeleteStroke | Deletes a stroke from the InkDisp object. |
DeleteStrokes | Deletes strokes from the InkDisp object. |
ExtractStrokes Method | Extracts strokes from the InkDisp object and returns a new InkDisp object containing the extracted strokes. |
ExtractWithRectangle Method | Cuts or copies strokes from an existing InkDisp Class object and pastes them into a new InkDisp Class object, by using the known rectangle to determine which strokes to extract. |
GetBoundingBox | Retrieves the bounding box of all of the strokes in the InkDisp object. |
HitTestCircle | Retrieves the InkStrokes collection that are either completely inside or intersected by a known circle. |
HitTestWithLasso | Retrieves the strokes within a polyline selection area. |
HitTestWithRectangle | Retrieves the strokes that are contained within a specified rectangle. |
Load | Populates a new InkDisp object with known binary data. |
NearestPoint | Retrieves the IInkStrokeDisp within the InkDisp object that is nearest to a known point, optionally providing additional information. |
Save | Converts the ink to a specified format and returns the binary data. |
The InkDisp class has these properties.
Property | Access type | Description |
---|---|---|
CustomStrokes |
Read-only |
Gets the IInkCustomStrokes collection to be persisted with the ink. |
Dirty |
Read/write |
Gets or sets the value that indicates whether an InkDisp object has been modified since the last time the ink was saved. |
ExtendedProperties |
Read-only |
Gets the collection of application-defined data. |
Strokes |
Read-only |
Gets the InkStrokes collection contained in the InkDisp object. |
This object can be instantiated by calling the CoCreateInstance method in C++.
Note
The first instantiation of this object causes GDI+ to be instantiated as well. A side-effect is that if you are using a single ink object in a loop and create and destroy it within the loop, you will cause GDI+ to be instantiated over and over. This can cause a performance degradation in your application. To prevent this, keep a single instance of an ink object at all times while your application is using ink.
An InkDisp object is a container of stroke (point) data. The stroke data, or the points collected by the pen, are put into an InkDisp object. The Strokes property contains the data for all strokes within the InkDisp object.
The InkCollector object, InkOverlay object, and InkPicture control collects points from the input device and puts them into an InkDisp object. These objects essentially act as the source that distributes ink into one or many different InkDisp objects, which act as containers that hold the distributed ink.
The ink space is a virtual coordinate space to which the coordinates of the tablet context are mapped. This space is fixed to a HIMETRIC coordinate system. In ink space coordinates, a move from 0 to 1 equals 1 HIMETRIC unit. This mapping makes it easy to relate multiple InkDisp objects.
The InkRenderer object manages the mappings between ink and the display window.
