Example

This C# example stores a a time stamp for each Stroke object when the InkCollector object's Stroke event fires. For each stroke drawn on an InkCollector, theInkCollector, the ExtendedProperties property. When the user clicks a button, theButton, a list box, theListBox, is populated with a list of the time stamps of the strokes.

//...

        // Add the following after Main() in the generated code.

        InkCollector theInkCollector;
        // This GUID constant will be used for our Strokes'
        // timestamp extended property.

            theInkCollector.Enabled = true;
            // Add a handler for Stroke Events to record
            // an extended property with each one.

                    // properties list, using the previously defined
                    // Guid as a key to the requiried extended property.
                    long theLong = (long)theStroke.ExtendedProperties[theTimeGuid].Data;
                    // Then turn it (as a FileTime) into a time string.
                    string theTime = DateTime.FromFileTime(theLong).ToString();
                    // Add the string to the list box.
                    listBox1.Items.Add(theTime);
                }

This Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET example stores a a time stamp for each Stroke object when the InkCollector object's Stroke event fires. For each stroke drawn on an InkCollector, theInkCollector, the example stores the time stamp in the Stroke object's ExtendedProperties property. When the user clicks a button, theButton, a list box, theListBox, is populated with a list of the time stamps of the strokes.
