Remarks

A writing region has a single reading order, such as top down.

Several writing regions can coexist in the same document on the same page if they have different orientations. For example, if a user writes notes that are primarily horizontal but then scribbles a few words diagonally in a corner, the diagonal words are considered to have a different orientation. A new WritingRegion is created for that diagonal text.

A WritingRegionNode object can contain the following types of child elements:

  • Any number of ParagraphNode objects.

  • Any number of nodes with an unknown Guid value.

For more information, see conceptual topic on WritingRegion and AlignmentLevel.

Example

The following example takes a TextBox, selectedResultsTextBox, whose Text property has previously been set to the value returned by GetRecognizedString for a WritingRegionNode, writingRegion. The user has selected some text in the TextBox. The example code marks the Strokes that corresponds to that selection.

' Find out what's been selected in the text box
Dim selectionStart As Integer = selectedResultsTextBox.SelectionStart
Dim selectionLength As Integer = selectedResultsTextBox.SelectionLength

' Return if no text is selected.
If selectionLength = 0 Then
    Return
End If

' Get the nodes that correspond to that range
Dim selectedRegionSubNodes As ContextNodeCollection = _
    writingRegion.GetNodesFromTextRange(selectionStart, selectionLength)

' Use the new start and length value to update the
' selection in the TextBox
selectedResultsTextBox.SelectionStart = selectionStart
selectedResultsTextBox.SelectionLength = selectionLength

' First, set all strokes to black
Dim inkStroke As Stroke
For Each inkStroke In writingRegion.Strokes
    inkStroke.DrawingAttributes = New DrawingAttributes(Color.Black)
Next inkStroke
' Next, set all selected sub nodes to red
Dim node As ContextNode
For Each node In selectedRegionSubNodes
    For Each inkStroke In node.Strokes
        inkStroke.DrawingAttributes = New DrawingAttributes(Color.Red)
    Next inkStroke
Next node
// Find out what's been selected in the text box
int selectionStart = selectedResultsTextBox.SelectionStart;
int selectionLength = selectedResultsTextBox.SelectionLength;

// Return if no text is selected.
if (selectionLength == 0)
    return;

// Get the nodes that correspond to that range
ContextNodeCollection selectedRegionSubNodes =
        writingRegion.GetNodesFromTextRange(ref selectionStart, ref selectionLength);


// Use the new start and length value to update the
// selection in the TextBox
selectedResultsTextBox.SelectionStart = selectionStart;
selectedResultsTextBox.SelectionLength = selectionLength;

// First, set all strokes to black
foreach (Stroke stroke in writingRegion.Strokes)
    stroke.DrawingAttributes =
                new DrawingAttributes(Color.Black);
// Next, set all selected sub nodes to red
foreach (ContextNode node in selectedRegionSubNodes)
{
    foreach (Stroke stroke in node.Strokes)
    {
        stroke.DrawingAttributes =
                new DrawingAttributes(Color.Red);
    }
}
