Stroke.HitTest Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Indicates whether a specified StylusPointCollection intersects with a Stroke object.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function HitTest ( _
    stylusPointCollection As StylusPointCollection _
) As Boolean
public bool HitTest(
    StylusPointCollection stylusPointCollection
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the specified StylusPointCollection intersects with the Stroke object; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code demonstrates the HitTest method. If you draw a stroke that intersects an existing stroke, the color of the existing stroke changes to red.

Run this sample

    Private MyStroke As Stroke

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()
        InitializeComponent()
        SetBoundary()

        MyStroke = New Stroke(MyStylusPointCollection)
        MyStroke.DrawingAttributes.Color = Colors.Yellow
        MyStroke.DrawingAttributes.Width = 8
        MyIP.Strokes.Add(MyStroke)
    End Sub
