9. 9 Our Goals for Avalon Promote Integration and Ease of Use Key functionality automatically enabled Fewer scenarios requiring device-specific code Promote Consistency Across Devices and Languages Promote rich devices, innovation Provide unprecedented language support Give developers (you) flexibility by making it extensible, pluggable Promote Integration and Ease of Use Key functionality automatically enabled Fewer scenarios requiring device-specific code Promote Consistency Across Devices and Languages Promote rich devices, innovation Provide unprecedented language support Give developers (you) flexibility by making it extensible, pluggable

11. 11 Event routing Tunneling First notify the grandparent, then the parent, then the child Bubbling Opposite of Tunneling - First notify the child, then the parent, then parent’s parent, etc. Typical pattern PreviewFoo event (tunnel) followed by Foo event (bubble) We often talk about these pairs as a single event Tunneling First notify the grandparent, then the parent, then the child Bubbling Opposite of Tunneling - First notify the child, then the parent, then parent’s parent, etc. Typical pattern PreviewFoo event (tunnel) followed by Foo event (bubble) We often talk about these pairs as a single event

12. 12 Events – Routing Examples Spacebar Tab in button Tab in edit Alt-F Unrecognized key Spacebar Tab in button Tab in edit Alt-F Unrecognized key Window Handled Not Handled Panel Button Edit

13. 13 Event Promotion Route low-level events first, higher level events next Retain ability for developers who want to get to the device events, keep it simple for those who don’t Route low-level events first, higher level events next Retain ability for developers who want to get to the device events, keep it simple for those who don’t

17. 17 Text Input - Integrated TSF Support TSF is an API particularly for input methods requiring access to the document (for context, composition, conversion and correction purposes) such as IMEs, Speech, Handwriting and others. Avalon TSF Support consists of TextBox implements the text store APIs A TextInput event for controls that don't implement their own text store TSF is an API particularly for input methods requiring access to the document (for context, composition, conversion and correction purposes) such as IMEs, Speech, Handwriting and others. Avalon TSF Support consists of TextBox implements the text store APIs A TextInput event for controls that don't implement their own text store

18. 18 TextInput Event Like other input events in Avalon, Text input events follow the low-level event  promoted event pattern Avalon will first route the appropriate KeyDown/KeyUp events, and if those are not handled, then a TextInput event.  KeyDown Event KeyEventArgs.Key == Key.TextInput KeyEventArgs.Key == Key.ImeProcessed  TextInput Event TextInput event is device and language independent Like other input events in Avalon, Text input events follow the low-level event  promoted event pattern Avalon will first route the appropriate KeyDown/KeyUp events, and if those are not handled, then a TextInput event.  KeyDown Event KeyEventArgs.Key == Key.TextInput KeyEventArgs.Key == Key.ImeProcessed  TextInput Event TextInput event is device and language independent

20. 20 The Open Command

21. 21 Commanding Cut, Copy, Paste, Open – these are commands A command is a form of input The “Invoke” event Command Invoke is often the result of other input Eg, ctrl-C invokes Copy command “ctrl-C = Copy” is an input binding Can also call RaiseCommand(…) directly Cut, Copy, Paste, Open – these are commands A command is a form of input The “Invoke” event Command Invoke is often the result of other input Eg, ctrl-C invokes Copy command “ctrl-C = Copy” is an input binding Can also call RaiseCommand(…) directly

22. 22 Benefits of Commands Centralized handling logic Manage command status (eg, disabling menu items) Leverage existing commands Handle more input devices Command routing Finding someone to handle the command invoked Centralized handling logic Manage command status (eg, disabling menu items) Leverage existing commands Handle more input devices Command routing Finding someone to handle the command invoked

24. 24 Speech Functionality Built In Speech Recognition engine User configuration, Training Microphone control + Feedback UI Command and Control For all on screen elements (buttons, links etc.) For starting or switching applications Commanding Control Pattern Dictation Dictate into any text field Dictation commands to correct/edit text Standard Correction User Experience Speech Recognition engine User configuration, Training Microphone control + Feedback UI Command and Control For all on screen elements (buttons, links etc.) For starting or switching applications Commanding Control Pattern Dictation Dictate into any text field Dictation commands to correct/edit text Standard Correction User Experience

25. 25 Extending Speech Support Strengths of speech as an input modality Can refer to things that are not on the screen “Start Microsoft Excell” Can be parameterized “Schedule a meeting tomorrow at 2” Efficient “Schedule an hour long meeting with my staff and Joe tomorrow afternoon at 2 in the main conference room” Strengths of speech as an input modality Can refer to things that are not on the screen “Start Microsoft Excell” Can be parameterized “Schedule a meeting tomorrow at 2” Efficient “Schedule an hour long meeting with my staff and Joe tomorrow afternoon at 2 in the main conference room”
