RootNode Class

Represents the top ContextNode for a tree of nodes that describes the results of ink analysis.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class RootNode _
    Inherits ContextNode
'Usage
Dim instance As RootNode
public sealed class RootNode : ContextNode
public ref class RootNode sealed : public ContextNode
public final class RootNode extends ContextNode

Remarks

The RootNode is accessed by the InkAnalyzer.RootNode property.

A RootNode object can contain any number of the following types of child objects:

Examples

The following example starts at the RootNode for an InkAnalyzer named theInkAnalyzer, and fills a TreeView named theTreeView, with the analyzer's ContextNode tree. When a node in the TreeView is selected, the strokes are set to display in red. The Tag property is used to map between tree nodes and the context nodes that they represent.
