- propertyData
- Object
The value of the custom property. propertyData must be of type Char, Byte, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, Single, Double, DateTime, Boolean, String, Decimal or an array of these data types; however it cannot be an array of type String.
Exceptions
propertyData is null.
propertyDataId is an empty Guid.
-or-
propertyData is not one of the allowed data types listed in the Parameters section.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to add and retrieve a custom property from the DrawingAttributes object. The example adds a property that indicates whether the DrawingAttributes object is a pen or a highlighter. The code in the ChangeColors_Click event handler renders a new color for strokes on the InkCanvas that use the DrawingAttributes object, inkDA. This example assumes that there is an InkCanvas named inkCanvas1, and that there are two DrawingAttributes objects named inkDA, and highlighterDA.
Guid purposeGuid = new Guid("12345678-9012-3456-7890-123456789012");
string penValue = "pen";
string highlighterValue = "highlighter";
// Add a property to each DrawingAttributes object to
// specify its use.
private void AssignDrawingAttributesInstrument()
{
inkDA.AddPropertyData(purposeGuid, penValue);
highlighterDA.AddPropertyData(purposeGuid, highlighterValue);
}
// Change the color of the ink that on the InkCanvas that used the pen.
void ChangeColors_Click(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
foreach (Stroke s in inkCanvas1.Strokes)
{
if (s.DrawingAttributes.ContainsPropertyData(purposeGuid))
{
object data = s.DrawingAttributes.GetPropertyData(purposeGuid);
if ((data is string) && ((string)data == penValue))
{
s.DrawingAttributes.Color = Colors.Black;
}
}
}
}
Private purposeGuid As New Guid("12345678-9012-3456-7890-123456789012")
Private penValue As String = "pen"
Private highlighterValue As String = "highlighter"
' Add a property to each DrawingAttributes object to
' specify its use.
Private Sub AssignDrawingAttributesInstrument()
inkDA.AddPropertyData(purposeGuid, penValue)
highlighterDA.AddPropertyData(purposeGuid, highlighterValue)
End Sub
' Change the color of the ink that on the InkCanvas that used the pen.
Private Sub ChangeColors_Click(ByVal sender As [Object], _
ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
Dim s As Stroke
For Each s In inkCanvas1.Strokes
If s.DrawingAttributes.ContainsPropertyData(purposeGuid) Then
Dim data As Object = s.DrawingAttributes.GetPropertyData(purposeGuid)
If TypeOf data Is String AndAlso CStr(data) = penValue Then
s.DrawingAttributes.Color = Colors.Black
End If
End If
Next s
End Sub
Remarks
The AddPropertyData method enables you to add custom properties to a DrawingAttributes object. This is useful when you render your own strokes and want to provide extra information.
