StrokeCollection.GetBounds Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns the bounds of the strokes in the collection.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Ink
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetBounds As Rect
public Rect GetBounds()

Return Value

Type: System.Windows.Rect
A Rect that contains the bounds of the strokes in the StrokeCollection.

Remarks

Do not attempt to set values in the returned Rect. It should be used for reference only.

There are various scenarios for using the returned Rect. The Rect can be used as input for a RectangleGeometry that displays a bounding box in the user interface, or it can be used to check for intersecting strokes or other types of hit-testing.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the GetBounds method of the StrokeCollection object. After a stroke is drawn, a bounding box that surrounds the stroke is displayed.

Run this sample

    Private MyStroke As Stroke

    Private MyRectangle As Rectangle = Nothing

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()
        InitializeComponent()

        MyStylusPointCollection.Add(e.StylusDevice.GetStylusPoints(MyIP))
        MyStroke = New Stroke(MyStylusPointCollection)
        MyIP.Strokes.Add(MyStroke)
    End Sub

    'StylusPoint objects are collected from the MouseEventArgs and added to MyStroke
    Private Sub MyIP_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        If (Not (MyStroke) Is Nothing) Then
