This property is read/write.

Return Value

HRESULT value Description
S_OK Success.
E_POINTER The Selection parameter is an invalid pointer.

Remarks

To get the bounding rectangle of the InkStrokes collection after it has been moved or resized, call the GetBoundingBox method of the InkStrokes collection returned by this property.

To get the bounding rectangle of the InkStrokes collection before it was moved, handle the InkOverlay.SelectionMoved or the InkPicture.SelectionMoved event and get the OldSelectionBoundingRect property of the InkOverlaySelectionMovedEventArgs object.

To get the bounding rectangle of the InkStrokes collection before it was resized, handle the InkOverlay.SelectionResized or the InkPicture.SelectionResized event and get the OldSelectionBoundingRect property of the InkOverlaySelectionResizedEventArgs object.

Example

[Visual Basic 6.0]

This Visual Basic 6.0 example demonstrates use of the Selection property and uses the HitTestSelection method. This application uses a check box, CheckSelectionMode to toggle an InkOverlay object between ink and selection editing modes, and uses the HitTestSelection results to change the color of the selection when one of the selection knobs of the selection rectangle is clicked.
