LineNode.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 descendent nodes.
Namespace: System.Windows.Ink

Parameters
- start
Type: System.Int32%
- length
Type: System.Int32%
subTree
Type: System.Windows.Ink.ContextNodeCollectionThe descendent 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 descendent nodes.
Remarks
The specified text range should be relative to the subTree which is part of the recognized string from the current LineNode and not part of the recognized string from the complete LineNode or the complete RootNode.
The start and length parameters are references because their values can be changed. For example, if 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," then the ContextNodeCollection is likely to have just one ContextNode, which is the InkWordNode that 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, corresponding to the entire word "late."
Note
The start parameter is relative 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 is the text range for the word "late."
Examples
The following example takes a ContextNodeCollection object, lastWordCollection, which contains one ContextNode that corresponds to the last word in a LineNode, line. It then marks all of the Strokes in black except for the ones that correspond 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 = line.GetNodesFromTextRange(start, length, lastWordCollection)
' Set all strokes to black
For Each Stroke As Stroke In line.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 =
line.GetNodesFromTextRange(ref start, ref length, lastWordCollection);
// Set all strokes to black
foreach (Stroke stroke in line.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;
}
}
