GetHotPoint Method (Automation Only)

GetHotPoint Method (Automation Only)

Gets the hot point of the gesture, in ink space coordinates.

Declaration

[C++]

HRESULT GetHotPoint(
    [in, out] long* X,
    [in, out] long* Y
);

[Microsoft® Visual Basic® 6.0]

Public Sub GetHotPoint( _
    X As Long, _
    Y As Long _
)

Parameters

X

[in, out] The X-value of the hot point, in ink space coordinates.

Y

[in, out] The Y-value of the hot point, in ink space coordinates.

Return Value

HRESULT value Description
S_OK Error information is provided.
E_POINTER A parameter contained an invalid pointer.
E_INK_EXCEPTION An exception occurred while processing.

Remarks

The hot point is the one distinguishing point of a gesture. It is usually the point of the angle in a gesture or the point at which the gesture is intended to occur in relation to the content around it. If thee is no discernable hot point for a known gesture, the starting point of the gesture is the hot point.

For example, the hot point of the Check gesture is the point of the angle, and the hot point of the Curlicue gesture is the start of the stroke that is the gesture.

For more information about how a hot point is used, see Making Windows Work with a Pen.

Example

[Visual Basic 6.0]

This Visual Basic 6.0 example displays application and system gesture event information in a multiline text edit control, Text1, on the main form window. Starting with a Standard EXE application and adding a reference to the Microsoft Tablet PC Type Library, this example adds a check box, Check1, which toggles tracking of System Gesture information. ApplicationGesture information reported includes the coordinates from the GetHotPoint method of the gesture.
