Return Value

System.Boolean. Whether the InkEdit control has interest in a particular application gesture.

true	The InkEdit control has interest in the gesture. The Gesture event is raised when the gesture is recognized.
false	The InkEdit control has no interest in the gesture.

Exceptions

ArgumentException : The parameter is not valid.

Remarks

This method throws an exception if the gesture parameter is set to AllGestures.

To set the interest of the InkEdit control in a particular gesture, call the SetGestureStatus method.

Note: By default, the InkEdit control has interest in the following application gestures:

• Left
• Right
• UpRightLong
• DownLeftLong
• UpRight
• DownLeft

Examples

[C#]

This C# example creates an ArrayList that contains all application gestures for which an InkEdit control, theInkEdit, has interest.

using Microsoft.Ink;
// . . .
// Return an array of all of the ApplicationGestures that
// have their status set to true on the InkEdit control.
private ApplicationGesture [] GetSetAppGestures(InkEdit theInkEdit)
{
    ArrayList result = new ArrayList();
    ApplicationGesture test = ApplicationGesture.NoGesture;
    Array gestureArray = System.Enum.GetValues(test.GetType());
    foreach (ApplicationGesture theGesture in gestureArray)
    {
        // ApplicationGesture.AllGestures is not a meaningful
        // gesture to pass to GetGestureStatus()
        if (theGesture != ApplicationGesture.AllGestures &&
            theInkEdit.GetGestureStatus(theGesture))
        {
            result.Add(theGesture);
        }
    }
    return (ApplicationGesture[])result.ToArray(typeof(ApplicationGesture));
}
