Example
This example takes an InkAnalyzerBase, theInkAnalyzer
, and uses its ContextNodeBase tree to fill a System.Windows.Forms.TreeView, theTreeView
. When a node in the tree view is selected, those strokes are set to appear in red. The Tag property is used to map between tree nodes and the context nodes that they represent.
