Examples

[C#]

This C# example creates an undo mechanism for the last Strokes collection deleted during a StrokesDeleting event. When a user clicks the MenuItem Leave Site item, menuItemUndoDelete, the deleted Strokes collection is added back into the InkOverlay object, theInkOverlay.

using Microsoft.Ink;
  private Ink inkForDeletedStrokes;
//...
      theInkOverlay.StrokesDeleting +=
          new InkOverlayStrokesDeletingEventHandler(theInkOverlay_StrokesDeleting);
//...
  private void theInkOverlay_StrokesDeleting(object sender, InkOverlayStrokesDeletingEventArgs e)
  {
      // Store strokes for later undo.
      // You need to store them in a separate Ink object so that they don't get
      // completely deleted.
      inkForDeletedStrokes = new Ink();
      inkForDeletedStrokes.AddStrokesAtRectangle(e.StrokesToDelete,
          e.StrokesToDelete.GetBoundingBox());
  }

  private void menuItemUndoDelete_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
      if (inkForDeletedStrokes != null)
      {
          // Add strokes back.  (You need to use Ink.AddStrokesAtRectangle as opposed
          // to Strokes.Add because these are two different Ink objects.)
          theInkOverlay.Ink.AddStrokesAtRectangle(inkForDeletedStrokes.Strokes,
              inkForDeletedStrokes.Strokes.GetBoundingBox());

          inkForDeletedStrokes = null;

          // For best performance, you should Invalidate the rectangle created by the
          // bounding box (converted from ink space to pixel space).  For simplicity,
          // we will just refresh the entire control.
          Refresh();
      }
  }
//...
