AnalysisAlternate.AlternateNodes Property

Gets the ContextNode objects that are associated with the current AnalysisAlternate.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property AlternateNodes As ContextNodeCollection
'Usage
Dim instance As AnalysisAlternate 
Dim value As ContextNodeCollection 

value = instance.AlternateNodes
public ContextNodeCollection AlternateNodes { get; }
public:
property ContextNodeCollection^ AlternateNodes {
    ContextNodeCollection^ get ();
}
public function get AlternateNodes () : ContextNodeCollection

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Ink.ContextNodeCollection
The ContextNode objects that are associated with this alternate.

Remarks

Because they correspond to alternates, these ContextNode objects are not descendants of the RootNode of the InkAnalyzer unless they are the top alternate, which is the first element in a AnalysisAlternateCollection.

AlternateNodes always return a collection of leaf nodes. For example, if the AnalysisAlternate is a LineNode, AlternateNodes returns a collection of InkWordNode objects, not LineNode objects.

Examples

This example checks to see if a AnalysisAlternate, selectedAlternate, has the same segmentation as the top alternate in an AnalysisAlternateCollection, currentAlternates. Segmentation refers to how the strokes are broken up into ContextNode objects.

Dim hasSameSegmentationAsTop As Boolean = True 
If currentAlternates.Count > 0 Then 
    Dim topAlternate As AnalysisAlternate = currentAlternates(0)
    ' First check if selected alternate is the top alternate 
    If selectedAlternate = topAlternate Then
        hasSameSegmentationAsTop = True 
    Else 
        ' Check to see if they have the same strokes 
        If topAlternate.AlternateNodes.Count <> selectedAlternate.AlternateNodes.Count Then
            hasSameSegmentationAsTop = False 
        Else 
            ' Check that each node matches the alternates 
            Dim i As Integer 
            For i = 0 To topAlternate.AlternateNodes.Count - 1
                If topAlternate.AlternateNodes(i).Strokes.Count <> _
                   selectedAlternate.AlternateNodes(i).Strokes.Count Then

                    hasSameSegmentationAsTop = False
