Stroke.GetPacketValuesByProperty Method (Guid, Int32, Int32)
Returns the data for a specified packet property for a range of packets in the Stroke object.
Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink (in Microsoft.Ink.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Function GetPacketValuesByProperty ( _
id As Guid, _
index As Integer, _
count As Integer _
) As Integer()
'Usage
Dim instance As Stroke
Dim id As Guid
Dim index As Integer
Dim count As Integer
Dim returnValue As Integer()
returnValue = instance.GetPacketValuesByProperty(id, _
index, count)
public int[] GetPacketValuesByProperty(
Guid id,

)
public:
array<int>^ GetPacketValuesByProperty(

int index,
int count
)
public function GetPacketValuesByProperty(
id : Guid,
index : int,
count : int
) : int[]
Parameters
id
Type: System.GuidThe Guid identifier from the PacketProperty object that is used to select which packet data is retrieved.
index
Type: System.Int32The starting point of the zero-based index to a packet within the Stroke object.
count
Type: System.Int32The number of points that make up the stroke data.
Return Value
Type: array<System.Int32[]
Returns an array of signed 32-bit integers that specifies the value of the requested PacketProperty object for each point requested from the Stroke object.
Remarks
A specific packet property may not be available on a particular Stroke object. A Tablet PC may have more than one tablet for user input. The Tablets collection contains a list of all the tablets attached to the Tablet PC. Use the IsPacketPropertySupported method to determine if a particular packet property is supported by a specific Tablet object or by all the available tablets. Also, use the InkCollector.DesiredPacketDescription, InkOverlay.DesiredPacketDescription, or InkPicture.DesiredPacketDescription properties to control which packet properties are collected on new strokes.
Examples
In this example, each selected Stroke object of an InkOverlay object is modified so that each point of the first half of the stroke contains the minimum allowed NormalPressure packet value.
Using the GetPacketValuesByProperty method, the NormalPressure packet values for the first half of the Stroke object are obtained. The values are then set to the minimum allowed (as obtained via the GetPacketDescriptionPropertyMetrics method), and reapplied to the stroke using the SetPacketValuesByProperty method.
Try
For Each S As Stroke In mInkOverlay.Selection
' get the PacketProperty.NormalPressure metrics for the stroke
Dim metrics As TabletPropertyMetrics = S.GetPacketDescriptionPropertyMetrics(PacketProperty.NormalPressure)
' we want to get half of the NormalPressure values
Dim halfWayPt As Integer = S.PacketCount / 2
' get the NormalPressure values for the first half of the packets
Dim npValues() As Integer = S.GetPacketValuesByProperty(PacketProperty.NormalPressure, 0, halfWayPt)
' set the NormalPressure values to min
For k As Integer = 0 To npValues.Length - 1
npValues(k) = metrics.Minimum
Next
' set the NormalPressure values for the first half of the packets
S.SetPacketValuesByProperty(PacketProperty.NormalPressure, 0, halfWayPt, npValues)
Next
Catch ex As ArgumentException
' This exception will be raised if PacketProperty.NormalPressure is not supported
' This will be the case if creating strokes with a mouse
End Try
try
{
foreach (Stroke S in mInkOverlay.Selection)
{
// get the PacketProperty.NormalPressure metrics for the stroke
TabletPropertyMetrics metrics = S.GetPacketDescriptionPropertyMetrics(PacketProperty.NormalPressure);
// we want to get half of the NormalPressure values
int halfWayPt = S.PacketCount / 2;
// get the NormalPressure values for the first half of the packets
int[] npValues = S.GetPacketValuesByProperty(PacketProperty.NormalPressure, 0, halfWayPt);
// set the NormalPressure values to min
for (int k = 0; k < npValues.Length; k++)
{
npValues[k] = metrics.Minimum;
}
// set the NormalPressure values for the first half of the packets
S.SetPacketValuesByProperty(PacketProperty.NormalPressure, 0, halfWayPt, npValues);
}
}
catch (ArgumentException)
{
// This exception will be raised if PacketProperty.NormalPressure is not supported
// This will be the case if creating strokes with a mouse
