Gets the RecognitionResult object from the event.

Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink (in Microsoft.Ink.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Result As RecognitionResult
'Usage
Dim instance As RecognizerContextRecognitionWithAlternatesEventArgs 
Dim value As RecognitionResult 

value = instance.Result

public RecognitionResult Result { get; }

public:
property RecognitionResult^ Result {
    RecognitionResult^ get ();
}

public function get Result () : RecognitionResult

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.Ink.RecognitionResult
The recognition result from the event.

Remarks

The RecognitionResult object that the Result property returns contains any pertinent recognition alternates.

Examples

In this example, each stroke made in an InkOverlay object is automatically recognized and the recognition result displayed.

When the Stroke event fires (in response to the user completing a stroke), the newly created stroke is added to the Strokes collection of the RecognizerContext object, and the BackgroundRecognizeWithAlternates method is called, passing the current time to the customData parameter.

Private Sub mInkOverlay_Stroke3(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As InkCollectorStrokeEventArgs)
    ' in case background recognition is still occurring, stop it
    mRecognizerContext.StopBackgroundRecognition()
    ' add the stroke, and start recognition
    mRecognizerContext.Strokes.Add(e.Stroke)
    mRecognizerContext.BackgroundRecognizeWithAlternates(DateTime.Now)
End Sub

private void mInkOverlay_Stroke3(object sender, InkCollectorStrokeEventArgs e)
{
    // in case background recognition is still occurring, stop it
    mRecognizerContext.StopBackgroundRecognition();
    // add the stroke, and start recognition, passing current time
    mRecognizerContext.Strokes.Add(e.Stroke);
    mRecognizerContext.BackgroundRecognizeWithAlternates(DateTime.Now);
}

When background recognition is complete, the RecognitionWithAlternates event fires. During handling of this event, the results of the recognition (including alternates) are placed in a list box. In addition, the time that recognition began is retrieved from the CustomData property of the RecognizerContextRecognitionWithAlternatesEventArgs object, and used to calculate the total elapsed time required for recognition.

' event fires when recognition results (without alternates) are ready 
Private Sub RecognizerContext_Recognition(ByVal sender As Object, _
            ByVal e As RecognizerContextRecognitionEventArgs)
    ' when updating a control, must use Invoke() since controls are 
    ' not thread safe and recognition occurs on a different thread 
    If Me.InvokeRequired Then 
        ' recursively call this method via Invoke() 
        Me.Invoke( _
            New RecognizerContextRecognitionEventHandler(AddressOf RecognizerContext_Recognition), _
            New Object() {sender, e} _
        )
        Return 
    End If 
    If RecognitionStatus.NoError = e.RecognitionStatus Then
        listBoxRecognitionResults.Items.Add(e.Text)
        ' get the custom data and calculate elapsed time 
        Dim startTime As DateTime = DirectCast(e.CustomData, DateTime)
        Dim endTime As DateTime = DateTime.Now
        Dim span As TimeSpan = New TimeSpan(endTime.Ticks - startTime.Ticks)
        ' display the number of seconds for this recognition to finish
        listBoxRecognitionResults.Items.Add(span.TotalSeconds.ToString())
    End If 
End Sub

// event fires when recognition results (without alternates) are ready 
private void RecognizerContext_Recognition(object sender, RecognizerContextRecognitionEventArgs e)
{
    // when updating a control, must use Invoke() since controls are 
    // not thread safe and recognition occurs on a different thread 
    if (this.InvokeRequired)
    {
        // recursively call this method via Invoke() 
        this.Invoke(
            new RecognizerContextRecognitionEventHandler(RecognizerContext_Recognition),
            new object[] { sender, e }
            );
        return;
    }

    if (RecognitionStatus.NoError == e.RecognitionStatus)
    {
        listBoxRecognitionResults.Items.Add(e.Text);
        // get the custom data and calculate elapsed time
        DateTime startTime = (DateTime)e.CustomData;
        DateTime endTime = DateTime.Now;
        TimeSpan span = new TimeSpan(endTime.Ticks - startTime.Ticks);
        // display the number of seconds for this recognition to finish
        listBoxRecognitionResults.Items.Add(span.TotalSeconds.ToString());
    }
