StylusPoint.PressureFactor Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Input

Assembly:

PresentationCore.dll

Gets or sets a value between 0 and 1 that reflects the amount of pressure the stylus applies to the digitizer's surface when the StylusPoint is created.

public:
 property float PressureFactor { float get(); void set(float value); };

public float PressureFactor { get; set; }

member this.PressureFactor : single with get, set

Public Property PressureFactor As Single

Property Value

Single

Value between 0 and 1 indicating the amount of pressure the stylus applies to the digitizer's surface as the StylusPoint is created.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The PressureFactor property is set to a value less than 0 or greater than 1.

Examples

The following example uses the PressureFactor property to retrieve and display the pressure value for each StylusPoint in a StylusPointCollection called points. This example assumes that there is a TextBlock called packetOutput.

private void WriteStylusPointValues(StylusPointCollection points)
{
    StylusPointDescription pointsDescription = points.Description;

    ReadOnlyCollection<StylusPointPropertyInfo> properties = 
        pointsDescription.GetStylusPointProperties();
    
    // Write the name and value of each property in
    // every stylus point.
    StringWriter packetWriter = new StringWriter();
    packetWriter.WriteLine("{0} stylus points", points.Count.ToString());
    foreach (StylusPoint stylusPoint in points)
    {
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Stylus Point info");
        packetWriter.WriteLine("X: {0}", stylusPoint.X.ToString());
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Y: {0}", stylusPoint.Y.ToString());
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Pressure: {0}", stylusPoint.PressureFactor.ToString());

        // Get the property name and value for each StylusPoint.
        // Note that this loop reports the X, Y, and pressure values differantly than 
        // getting their values above.
        for (int i = 0; i < pointsDescription.PropertyCount; ++i)
        {
            StylusPointProperty currentProperty = properties[i];

            // GetStylusPointPropertyName is defined below and returns the
            // name of the property.
            packetWriter.Write("{0}: ", GetStylusPointPropertyName(currentProperty));
            packetWriter.WriteLine(stylusPoint.GetPropertyValue(currentProperty).ToString());
        }
        packetWriter.WriteLine();
    }

    packetOutput.Text = packetWriter.ToString();
}

    Dim pointsDescription As StylusPointDescription = points.Description
    
    Dim properties As ReadOnlyCollection(Of StylusPointPropertyInfo) = _
                            pointsDescription.GetStylusPointProperties()
    
    ' Write the name and value of each property in
    ' every stylus point.
    Dim packetWriter As New StringWriter()

    packetWriter.WriteLine("{0} stylus points", points.Count.ToString())

    For Each stylusPoint As StylusPoint In points

        packetWriter.WriteLine("Stylus Point info")
        packetWriter.WriteLine("X: {0}", stylusPoint.X.ToString())
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Y: {0}", stylusPoint.Y.ToString())
        packetWriter.WriteLine("Pressure: {0}", stylusPoint.PressureFactor.ToString())

        ' Get the property name and value for each StylusPoint.
        ' Note that this loop reports the X, Y, and pressure values differantly than 
        ' getting their values above.
        For i As Integer = 0 To pointsDescription.PropertyCount - 1

            Dim currentProperty As StylusPointProperty = properties(i)

            ' GetStylusPointPropertyName is defined below and returns the
            ' name of the property.
            packetWriter.Write("{0}: ", GetStylusPointPropertyName(currentProperty))
            packetWriter.WriteLine(stylusPoint.GetPropertyValue(currentProperty).ToString())
        Next i

        packetWriter.WriteLine()

    Next stylusPoint

    packetOutput.Text = packetWriter.ToString()

Remarks

The value of the PressureFactor property is expressed as a value between 0 and 1. A value of 0 indicates that no pressure is applied, while a value of 1 indicates that the maximum amount of pressure is applied. A value of 0.5 indicates that 50% of the maximum pressure is applied, and so on.
