SetRegionName Method (GdViewer)

In This Topic

Sets the name 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 name 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. You can determine the name of each highlighted region using the GetRegionName method.

'Declaration
 
Public Function SetRegionName( _
   ByVal RegionID As Integer, _
   ByVal Name As String _
) As GdPictureStatus

public GdPictureStatus SetRegionName( 
   int RegionID,
   string Name
)

public function SetRegionName( 
    RegionID: Integer;
    Name: String
): GdPictureStatus;

public function SetRegionName( 
   RegionID : int,
   Name : String
) : GdPictureStatus;

public: GdPictureStatus SetRegionName( 
   int RegionID,
   string* Name
)

public:
GdPictureStatus SetRegionName( 
   int RegionID,
   String^ Name
)

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.
Name: The new name of the specified region.

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

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

Just to inform you, that the default region name set by the toolkit is "SearchRegion"+occurrence_number when defining regions by using SearchText(String,Int32,Boolean) methods.

Example

Both these examples show you how to set a name to a defined highlighted region.

This example demonstrates how to assign the custom name to a newly added region.
