InkOverlay.HitTestSelection Method

Returns a value that indicates which part of a selection, if any, was hit during a hit test.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public Function HitTestSelection( _
ByVal X As Integer, _
ByVal Y As Integer _
) As SelectionHitResult
C# public SelectionHitResult HitTestSelection(
int X,
int Y
);
Managed C++ public: SelectionHitResult* HitTestSelection(
int *X,
int *Y
);

Parameters

X System.Int32. The x-position, in pixels, of the hit test.
Y System.Int32. The y-position, in pixels, of the hit test.

Return Value

Microsoft.Ink.SelectionHitResult. A member of the SelectionHitResult enumeration, which specifies which part of a selection, if any, was hit during a hit test.

None0 Specifies no part of the selection was hit.
Northwest1 Specifies the northwest corner sizing handle was hit.
Southeast2 Specifies the southeast corner sizing handle was hit.
Northeast3 Specifies the northeast corner sizing handle was hit.
Southwest4 Specifies the southwest corner sizing handle was hit.
East5 Specifies the east side sizing handle was hit.
West6 Specifies the west side sizing handle was hit.
North7 Specifies the north side sizing handle was hit.
South8 Specifies the south side sizing handle was hit.
Selection9 Specifies the selection itself was hit (no selection handle was hit).

Examples

[C#]

This C# example uses a check box, theCheckBox, to toggle an InkOverlay object, theInkOverlay, between inking and selection modes, and uses the results from the HitTestSelection method to change the color of the selection when a user clicks one of the sizing handles of the selection rectangle.
