'Declaration
 
Public Function SetImageOptional( _
   ByVal ImageResName As String, _
   ByVal OCGId As Integer _
) As GdPictureStatus

public GdPictureStatus SetImageOptional( 
   string ImageResName,
   int OCGId
)

public function SetImageOptional( 
    ImageResName: String;
    OCGId: Integer
): GdPictureStatus;

public function SetImageOptional( 
   ImageResName : String,
   OCGId : int
) : GdPictureStatus;

public: GdPictureStatus SetImageOptional( 
   string* ImageResName,
   int OCGId
)

public:
GdPictureStatus SetImageOptional( 
   String^ ImageResName,
   int OCGId
)

Parameters

ImageResName: The resource name of the image you want to add to be the OCG's (layer's) content.
You can obtain this identifier using these methods: AddImageFrom...(), AddJpegImageFrom...() or GdPicturePDF.GetPageImageResName. You can also take advantages of the GdPictureImaging class and its methods to load the image file of your favourite format.
OCGId: The unique identifier of the required OCG entry. You can obtain this identifier using the GdPicturePDF.GetOCG method.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.

We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks

This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.
