GetRegionColor Method (GdViewer)

In This Topic

Gets the fill color of a highlighted region specified by its unique identifier related to the document currently displayed in the GdViewer control. These regions, if present, determines the currently defined highlighted regions on the displayed document.

You can define the fill color of each highlighted region when adding regions using AddRegion(String,Int32,Int32,Int32,Int32,ForegroundMixMode,Int32) or AddRegionInches(String,Single,Single,Single,Single,ForegroundMixMode,Int32) methods or directly using the SetRegionColor(Int32,Color) method.

'Declaration
 
Public Function GetRegionColor( _
   ByVal RegionID As Integer _
) As Color

public Color GetRegionColor( 
   int RegionID
)

public function GetRegionColor( 
    RegionID: Integer
): Color;

public function GetRegionColor( 
   RegionID : int
) : Color;

public: Color GetRegionColor( 
   int RegionID
)

public:
Color GetRegionColor( 
   int RegionID
)

Parameters

RegionID: A unique region identifier of the specified region. You can obtain this identifier using the GetRegionID method or when creating regions using AddRegion(String,Int32,Int32,Int32,Int32,ForegroundMixMode,Int32) or AddRegionInches(String,Single,Single,Single,Single,ForegroundMixMode,Int32) methods.

Return Value

The fill color of the specified region. The GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks

Be aware that if the required region does not exist, the method will fail.

Just to inform you, that the default fill color set by the toolkit is yellow, ARGB(255, 255, 0).
