Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink (in microsoft.ink.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Tablet As Tablet
'Usage
Dim instance As Cursor
Dim value As Tablet
value = instance.Tablet
public Tablet Tablet { get; }
public:
property Tablet^ Tablet {
Tablet^ get ();
}
/** @property */
public Tablet get_Tablet ()
public function get Tablet () : Tablet
Not applicable.
Property Value
The Tablet to which the Cursor belongs.
Remarks
This function can be re-entered if called within certain message handlers, causing unexpected results. Take care to avoid a reentrant call when handling any of the following messages: WM_ACTIVATE, WM_ACTIVATEAPP, WM_NCACTIVATE, WM_PAINT; WM_SYSCOMMAND if wParam is set to SC_HOTKEY or SC_TASKLIST; and WM_SYSKEYDOWN (when processing Alt-Tab or Alt-Esc key combinations). This is an issue with single-threaded apartment model applications.
Example
This C# example returns a report on the attributes of all of the cursors that were encountered by the InkCollector object passed in as a parameter.
using Microsoft.Ink;
//. . .
public string CursorReport(InkCollector theInkCollector)
{
string theReport = "The InkCollector has encountered the following cursors so far:" + Environment.NewLine;
// Get the Cursors collection from the InkCollector
Microsoft.Ink.Cursors theCursors = theInkCollector.Cursors;
// Prevent changes to the collection while we iterate over it.
lock( theCursors.SyncRoot )
{
theReport += "Count of cursors: " + theCursors.Count + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine ;
foreach (Microsoft.Ink.Cursor cursor in theCursors)
{
theReport += "Cursor Name: " + cursor.Name + Environment.NewLine;
theReport += "Cursor ToString: " + cursor.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
theReport += "Tablet Name: " + cursor.Tablet.Name + Environment.NewLine;
theReport += "Cursor Id: " + cursor.Id.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
theReport += "Cursor is inverted: " + cursor.Inverted.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
theReport += "Cursor Buttons:" + Environment.NewLine;
foreach (CursorButton button in cursor.Buttons)
{
CursorButtonState theState = button.State;
theReport += " Button Name: " + button.Name + Environment.NewLine;
theReport += " State: " + button.State.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
theReport += " Id: " + button.Id.ToString() + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
}
}
}
return theReport;
