ContextNode.Type Property
Gets the context node type for this ContextNode object.
Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink.Analysis (in Microsoft.Ink.Analysis.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Type As Guid
'Usage
Dim instance As ContextNode
Dim value As Guid
value = instance.Type
public Guid Type { get; }
public:
property Guid Type {
Guid get ();
}
public function get Type () : Guid
Property Value
Type: System.Guid
The context node type for this ContextNode object.
Remarks
See the ContextNodeType class for the type GUID values.
Examples
The following example shows how to use the Type property of a ContextNode object, selectedNode. The text of a TextBox, selectedResultsTextBox, is filled differently depending on the type of node. In most cases, the recognized string is used, but for InkWord, the line's recognized string is used, and the word is selected in the TextBox.
