GetRegionMixMode Method (GdViewer)

In This Topic

Gets the foreground mix mode 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.

The foreground mix mode is used to combine the region fill color and the displayed area of the image covered by this region when highlighting. You can define this parameter of each highlighted region when adding regions using GdViewer.AddRegion or GdViewer.AddRegionInches methods or directly using the GdViewer.SetRegionMixMode method.

'Declaration
 
Public Function GetRegionMixMode( _
   ByVal RegionID As Integer _
) As ForegroundMixMode

public ForegroundMixMode GetRegionMixMode( 
   int RegionID
)

public function GetRegionMixMode( 
    RegionID: Integer
): ForegroundMixMode;

public function GetRegionMixMode( 
   RegionID : int
) : ForegroundMixMode;

public: ForegroundMixMode GetRegionMixMode( 
   int RegionID
)

public:
ForegroundMixMode GetRegionMixMode( 
   int RegionID
)

Parameters

RegionID: A unique region identifier of the specified region. You can obtain this identifier using the GdViewer.GetRegionID method or when creating regions using GdViewer.AddRegion or GdViewer.AddRegionInches methods.

Return Value

A member of the ForegroundMixMode enumeration. The GdViewer.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.
