Methods

Method	Description
Add	Adds a Strokes collection to the CustomStrokes collection.
Clear	Clears all the Strokes collections from the CustomStrokes collection.
CopyTo	Copies all of the elements of the current CustomStrokes collection to the specified one-dimensional array, starting at the specified destination array index.
Equals	Determines whether two Object instances are equal. Inherited from Object .
Finalize	Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. Inherited from Object .

Remarks

The custom strokes are essentially named Strokes collections that are persisted and recalled for later use.

You use a collection of custom strokes to store strokes that have the same meaning or that are related in some way. Examples of strokes that you may want to persist include:

• All the strokes drawn by the same cursor (pen)
• The strokes in an Ink object that correspond to a word or paragraph
• All the strokes that intersect a known region

For example, suppose you want to draw with two different cursors and keep separate the set of strokes that you draw with each cursor. You could recognize the strokes drawn with the first cursor and attach a RecognitionResult object to that collection of strokes. To persist the recognition result, add the strokes to the CustomStrokes collection of the Ink object. You can later access the first collection of strokes by getting the persisted CustomStrokes collection from the Ink object.

Each CustomStrokes collection is referenced by name.

CustomStrokes collections are references to ink data, not the actual data itself.
