Application Cannot Define Subset of the Gestures

• Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing, version 1.0

SUMMARY

If an application sets the ALC_GESTURE bit in the alc field of the RC data structure, the Microsoft Recognizer can return any one of the standard gestures defined by the system. There is no method to define a subset of the standard gesture set.

MORE INFORMATION

In the Windows for Pen Computing environment, an application can use the alc field of the RC data structure to specify the set of characters to use during recognition. Using this field, an application can specify a predefined set of characters by using one of the predefined flags, or it can define its own set of characters by using the ALC_USEBITMAP option. The ALC_USEBITMAP option allows the application to specify any subset of the 256 characters in the ANSI character set. Unfortunately, there is no method for an application to define a subset of the gesture set.

Some application developers have requested the ability to define subsets of the standard gesture set. This request is under consideration. Microsoft will post new information here as it becomes available.
