Allocating Processing Time
After it has supplied the raw pen data to an HRC object, the application then allocates processing time for recognition by
calling ProcessHRC. To accommodate applications with time-critical communications requirements
or other CPU-intensive activities, ProcessHRC takes a time-out value (in milliseconds) as its second argument. If the
time-out period elapses before ProcessHRC finishes processing, the function returns an HRCR_INCOMPLETE value. In this
way, an application can repeatedly allocate small slices of time until the
recognizer finishes its work.
PENWIN.H defines three time-out codes that an application can use when calling ProcessHRC. The following table describes the time-out codes.
Time-out code
| Description
| PH_MIN
| Allocates the smallest possible period of time to the recognizer,
approximately 50 milliseconds.
| PH_DEFAULT
| Allocates a moderate amount of time to the recognizer, approximately 200
milliseconds.
| PH_MAX
| Grants the recognizer as much time as it requires to complete the recognition.
|
The following line allocates the default time-out period to the recognizer in
the HRC identified by the handle hrc1:
iRet = ProcessHRC( hrc1, PH_DEFAULT );
Typically, AddPenInputHRC and ProcessHRC work together in a loop or in repeated response to a PE_ message as the user
writes. One function continually retrieves the latest pen data while the other
processes that data. When the input session terminates, an application should
call ProcessHRC with PH_MAX to finalize the recognition.
See the reference section for ProcessHRC in Chapter 10 for additional information about this function. When ProcessHRC returns, the application can retrieve results from the HRC object, as described in the next section.
