Returns a human-readable type for the ContextNode object as a string.

Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink.Analysis (in Microsoft.Ink.Analysis.dll)

'Usage
Dim instance As ContextNode

Return Value

Type: System.String
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".

Examples

This example is a method that recursively traverses a tree of ContextNode objects. It uses the SubNodes property and populates a System.Windows.Forms.TreeView by adding TreeNode objects. It then sets their TreeNode.Text property to ToString, adding InkWordNode.GetRecognizedString or InkDrawingNode.GetShapeName if appropriate.
