'Declaration
 
Public Function GetKeyValuePairDataType( _
   ByVal OCRResultID As String, _
   ByVal PairIdx As Integer _
) As DataType

public DataType GetKeyValuePairDataType( 
   string OCRResultID,
   int PairIdx
)

public function GetKeyValuePairDataType(

    PairIdx: Integer
): DataType;

public function GetKeyValuePairDataType( 
   OCRResultID : String,
   PairIdx : int
) : DataType;

public: DataType GetKeyValuePairDataType( 
   string* OCRResultID,
   int PairIdx
)

public:
DataType GetKeyValuePairDataType( 
   String^ OCRResultID,
   int PairIdx
)

Parameters

OCRResultID: The unique result identifier of the executed OCR process obtained by the GdPictureOCR.RunOCR method.
PairIdx: The 0-based index of the key-value pair within the specified OCR result. It must be a value between 0 and GdPictureOCR.GetKeyValuePairCount(OCRResultID) - 1.

Return Value

A member of the DataType enumeration specifying the identified data type of the pair.

This method requires the KVP and Table Processing - Intelligent Redaction component to run.

Extracting key-value pairs from an image.
