StylusPoint.Description Property

public:
 property System::Windows::Input::StylusPointDescription ^ Description { System::Windows::Input::StylusPointDescription ^ get(); };

public System.Windows.Input.StylusPointDescription Description { get; }

member this.Description : System.Windows.Input.StylusPointDescription

Public ReadOnly Property Description As StylusPointDescription

Property Value

The StylusPointDescription specifies the properties stored in the StylusPoint.

Examples

The following example uses the Description property to get property values from StylusPoint in a StylusPointCollection. This example assumes that there is a TextBlock called packetOutput.

private void WriteStylusPointValues(StylusPointCollection points)
{
    StylusPointDescription pointsDescription = points.Description;

    ReadOnlyCollection<StylusPointPropertyInfo> properties = 
        pointsDescription.GetStylusPointProperties();
    
    // Write the name and value of each property in
    // every stylus point.
    StringWriter packetWriter = new StringWriter();
    packetWriter.WriteLine("{0} stylus points", points.Count.ToString());
    foreach (StylusPoint stylusPoint in points)
    {
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Stylus Point info");
        packetWriter.WriteLine("X: {0}", stylusPoint.X.ToString());
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Y: {0}", stylusPoint.Y.ToString());
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Pressure: {0}", stylusPoint.PressureFactor.ToString());

        // Get the property name and value for each StylusPoint.
        // Note that this loop reports the X, Y, and pressure values differantly than 
        // getting their values above.
        for (int i = 0; i < pointsDescription.PropertyCount; ++i)
        {
            StylusPointProperty currentProperty = properties[i];

            // GetStylusPointPropertyName is defined below and returns the
            // name of the property.
            packetWriter.Write("{0}: ", GetStylusPointPropertyName(currentProperty));
            packetWriter.WriteLine(stylusPoint.GetPropertyValue(currentProperty).ToString());
        }
        packetWriter.WriteLine();
    }

    packetOutput.Text = packetWriter.ToString();
}
