Stroke.ExtendedProperties Property

  • Artigo

Stroke.ExtendedProperties Property

Gets the collection of application-defined data.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public ReadOnly Property ExtendedProperties As ExtendedProperties
C# public ExtendedProperties ExtendedProperties { get; }
Managed C++ public: __property ExtendedProperties* get_ExtendedProperties();

Property Value

Microsoft.Ink.ExtendedProperties. The collection of application-defined data.

This property is read-only. This property has no default value.

Remarks

Applications can use the ExtendedProperties property to access the custom data that is stored in the Stroke object. This custom data is automatically serialized with the object.

Examples

[C#]

This C# example stores a a timestamp for each Stroke object when the InkCollector object's Stroke event fires. For each stroke drawn on an InkCollector, theInkCollector, the example stores the timestamp in the Stroke object's ExtendedProperties property. When the user clicks a button, theButton, a list box, theListBox, is populated with a list of the timestamps of the strokes.
