Stroke.SetPacketValuesByProperty Method (Guid, Int32, Int32, array<Int32[])
Sets 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 SetPacketValuesByProperty ( _
id As Guid, _

'Usage
Dim instance As Stroke
Dim id As Guid
Dim index As Integer
Dim count As Integer
Dim packetValues As Integer()
Dim returnValue As Integer
returnValue = instance.SetPacketValuesByProperty(id, _

int count,
array<int>^ packetValues
)
public function SetPacketValuesByProperty(
id : Guid,
index : int,
count : int,
packetValues : int[]
) : int
Parameters
id
Type: System.GuidThe Guid identifier from the PacketProperty object that is used to select which packet data is set. Use the PacketDescription property to determine the defined properties for this Stroke object.
index
Type: System.Int32The starting index of the packet to be modified.
count
Type: System.Int32The number of packets in the stroke to modify and the number of values in packetValues. A value of -1 means that all packets are modified.
packetValues
Type: array<System.Int32[]The array of packet data values. The method fails if any of the values in the array exceed the minimum or maximum value of the property. To determine the range of values in the property, call the GetPacketDescriptionPropertyMetrics method.
Return Value
Type: System.Int32
Returns the actual number of packets set.
Remarks
This method throws an exception if the packetValues array is the incorrect length.
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
