InkOverlay.NewPackets Event

Occurs when the InkOverlay receives packets.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public Event NewPackets As InkCollectorNewPacketsEventHandler

C# public event InkCollectorNewPacketsEventHandler NewPackets;

Managed C++ public: __event InkCollectorNewPacketsEventHandler NewPackets;

Remarks

Packets are received while a stroke is being collected. Packet events occur rapidly, and a NewPackets event handler must be fast or performance suffers.

The event handler receives an argument of type InkCollectorNewPacketsEventArgs that contains data about this event.

When you create an InkCollectorNewPacketsEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For performance reasons, the default event interest is off but is turned on automatically if you add an event handler.

This event should be used carefully as it could have an adverse effect on ink performance if too much code is executed in the event handlers.

Examples

[C#]

This C# example draws a rectangle on the form with a bold outline when the packets are within the rectangle or with a narrow outline when the packets are outside the rectangle. This demonstrates how to use the packet events to control application behaviors.
