Returns the target (destination) of the specified URI action. A URI action causes a URI to be resolved. A uniform resource identifier (URI) is a string that identifies (resolves to) a resource on the Internet - typically a file that is the destination of a hypertext link. URIs are described in RFC 2396 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

Syntax

public string GetActionURI( 
   int ActionID
)

public function GetActionURI( 
    ActionID: Integer
): String;

public function GetActionURI( 
   ActionID : int
) : String;

public: string* GetActionURI( 
   int ActionID
)

public:
String^ GetActionURI( 
   int ActionID
)

'Declaration
 
Public Function GetActionURI( _
   ByVal ActionID As Integer _
) As String

Parameters

ActionID: A unique action identifier specifying a required action object. You can obtain this identifier using these methods: GdPicturePDF.GetViewerOpenActionID, GdPicturePDF.GetBookmarkActionID, GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldActionID, GdPicturePDF.GetAnnotationActionID or GdPicturePDF.NewActionURI.
Please ensure that the type of the action object specified by this identifier is exactly the PdfActionType.ActionTypeURI. You can check the type of the required action object using the GdPicturePDF.GetActionType method as it is shown in the example below.

Return Value

A uniform resource identifier as a string. The GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks

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

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any. For example, if the action object specified by the action identifier is not of the type PdfActionType.ActionTypeURI, the reason for the method's failure is GdPictureStatus.InvalidParameter.
