GdPicture.NET.14
GdPicture14 Namespace / GdViewer Class / GetRegionWidth Method
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.
Example





GetRegionWidth Method (GdViewer)
Gets the width of the highlighted region's rectangle, in inches, related to the actual document (meaning the document pages area). The highlighted region is 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 width of the region's rectangle when adding regions using GdViewer.AddRegion or GdViewer.AddRegionInches methods or directly using the GdViewer.SetRegionWidth method.

Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function GetRegionWidth( _
   ByVal RegionID As Integer _
) As Single
 

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

The width, in inches, of the highlighted region's rectangle, related to the actual document. The GdViewer.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.

Please note that the returned value corresponds to the actual document area, it is not related to the GdViewer control area.
