CustomRecognizerNode.GetNodesFromTextRange Method (Int32%, Int32%, ContextNodeCollection)
Returns a collection of descendant ContextNode objects that are relevant to the specified text range in the recognized string within a collection of descendant nodes.
Namespace: System.Windows.Ink

Parameters
- start
Type: System.Int32%
- length
Type: System.Int32%
subTree
Type: System.Windows.Ink.ContextNodeCollectionThe descendant ContextNode objects to which to narrow the search.
Return Value
Type: System.Windows.Ink.ContextNodeCollection
The collection of descendant ContextNode objects that are relevant to the specified text range in the recognized string within the collection of descendant nodes.
Remarks
The specified text range corresponds to the subTree part of the recognized string of this CustomRecognizerNode, rather than to the recognized string of the entire [T:System.Windows.Ink. CustomRecognizerNode] or the entire RootNode.
The start and length parameters are references because their values can be changed. If, for example, the return value of GetRecognizedString is "I am late" and you pass in values of start = 6 and length = 1 corresponding to the letter "a.", the ContextNodeCollection is likely to have just one ContextNode. This ContextNode is the InkWordNode which corresponds to the word "late." In this case, the value of start is changed to 5 and the value of length is changed to 4 (the length of the word "late.")
Note The start parameter corresponds to the nodes in the subTree parameter. In the previous example, if you pass in a subTree parameter with nodes for "am" and "late," but not "I," then a start parameter of 3 and a length of 4 are the text range for the word "late."
Examples
The following example takes a ContextNodeCollection object, lastLineCollection, which contains one ContextNode object corresponding to the last line in a CustomRecognizerNode (named customRecognizer). It then marks all of the Strokes in black except for those corresponding to the selected text in the last line, which it changes to red.
' Get the nodes that correspond to this start and length
Dim selectedNodes As ContextNodeCollection = _
customRecognizer.GetNodesFromTextRange(start, length, lastLineCollection)
' Set all strokes to black
For Each stroke As Stroke In customRecognizer.Strokes
stroke.DrawingAttributes.Color = Colors.Black
Next stroke
' Set strokes in the collection to red
For Each node As ContextNode In selectedNodes
For Each stroke As Stroke In node.Strokes
stroke.DrawingAttributes.Color = Colors.Red
Next stroke
Next node
// Get the nodes that correspond to this start and length
ContextNodeCollection selectedNodes =
customRecognizer.GetNodesFromTextRange(ref start, ref length, lastLineCollection);
// Set all strokes to black
foreach (Stroke stroke in customRecognizer.Strokes)
stroke.DrawingAttributes.Color = Colors.Black;
// Set strokes in the collection to red
foreach (ContextNode node in selectedNodes)
{
foreach (Stroke stroke in node.Strokes)
{
stroke.DrawingAttributes.Color = Colors.Red;
}
}
