StopPenInput

2.0

Terminates collection of pen input.

int StopPenInput( HPCM hpcm, UINT idEvent, int nTermReason )

Parameters

hpcm

Handle to the collection of the pen data gathered during the input session. HPCM stands for "handle to a pen collection mode."

idEvent

The identifier of the packet in the task-specific queue at which the pen input should be terminated. If this value is PID_CURRENT, pen input stops immediately (that is, at the latest position in the task queue) and no further input is collected. The idEvent parameter is the low-order word of the value returned from the Windows GetMessageExtraInfo function when processing a WM_LBUTTONDOWN message.

nTermReason

The reason for termination. This value is passed to the termination message PE_TERMINATED. It can be one of the following:

Constant
Description
PCMR_APPTERMINATED
Application terminated input.
PCMR_TERMBOUND
Pen was pressed outside bounding rectangle or region.
PCMR_TERMEX
Pen was pressed inside exclusion rectangle or region.
PCMR_TERMPENUP
Pen was lifted from the tablet.
PCMR_TERMRANGE
Pen left the tablet's range of sensitivity.
PCMR_TERMTIMEOUT
Time-out expired.

Return Value

Returns PCMR_OK if successful; otherwise, the return value can be one of the following:

Constant
Description
PCMR_INVALIDCOLLECTION
The hpcm handle is invalid because the calling application did not start input with StartPenInput.
PCMR_INVALID_PACKETID
idEvent is invalid.

Comments

This function allows an application to explicitly terminate pen collection without waiting for one of the conditions specified by StartPenInput in the dwPcm member of PCMINFO.

Due to the asynchronous nature of pen input messages, the application should wait for the WM_PENEVENT message with wParam set to PE_TERMINATED to make sure that the pen input process has completely terminated. This does not apply if the application is using the polling method of pen input.

Nostalgia .Net     Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native.
