SetRectCoordinatesOnViewerPixel Method

In This Topic

Determines the rectangle of area selection refering to the displayed viewer area. This method sets the specified coordinates and dimensions, in pixels, to identify the rectangle of selection related to the document displayed in the GdViewer control. The specified rectangle is immediately drawn on the viewer area using the predefined parameters. Please ensure, that all given values correspond to the viewer area.

Be aware that the rectangle of selection always relates to the displayed document. On the other hand, you can specify the border size of this rectangle using the RectBorderSize property and the border color of this rectangle using the RectBorderColor property to be applied permanently.

'Declaration
 
Public Sub SetRectCoordinatesOnViewerPixel( _
   ByVal Left As Double, _
   ByVal Top As Double, _
   ByVal Width As Double, _
   ByVal Height As Double _
)

public void SetRectCoordinatesOnViewerPixel( 
   double Left,
   double Top,
   double Width,
   double Height
)

public procedure SetRectCoordinatesOnViewerPixel( 
    Left: Double;
    Top: Double;
    Width: Double;
    Height: Double
);

public function SetRectCoordinatesOnViewerPixel( 
   Left : double,
   Top : double,
   Width : double,
   Height : double
);

public: void SetRectCoordinatesOnViewerPixel( 
   double Left,
   double Top,
   double Width,
   double Height
)

public:
void SetRectCoordinatesOnViewerPixel( 
   double Left,
   double Top,
   double Width,
   double Height
)

Parameters

Left: The horizontal (X) coordinate (0-based) of the top left point, in pixels, of the rectangle of selection, related to the viewer area.
Top: The vertical (Y) coordinate (0-based) of the top left point, in pixels, of the rectangle of selection, related to the viewer area.
Width: The width, in pixels, of the rectangle of selection.
Height: The height, in pixels, of the rectangle of selection.

Remarks

Be aware that you are allowed to define only one rectangle of selection within the current viewer. Likewise, the rectangle of selection always relates to the currently displayed document, meaning that without displaying some document you cannot specify the new rectangle of selection.

Just to remind you, that all coordinates are 0-based with the origin being in the top left corner in the viewer area.
