ContextNode.ToString Method
Returns a human-readable type for the ContextNode object as a string.
Namespace: System.Windows.Ink
Assembly: IAWinFX (in iawinfx.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overrides Function ToString As String
'Usage
Dim instance As ContextNode
Dim returnValue As String
returnValue = instance.ToString
public override string ToString ()
public:
virtual String^ ToString () override
public String ToString ()
public override function ToString () : String
Not applicable.
Return Value
A human-readable type for the ContextNode object as a string.
Remarks
For example, if the Type is InkWord, this method returns a value of "InkWordNode".
Example
This example is a method that recursively traverses a tree of ContextNode objects. It uses the SubNodes property and populates a TreeView by adding TreeViewItem objects. It then sets their Header property to ToString, and adds InkWordNode.GetRecognizedString or InkDrawingNode.GetShapeName if appropriate.
