Introduction

The Imaging Common Dialog libraries provide a set of common dialog boxes that combine Windows Common Dialog functionality with imaging functionality contained in LEADTOOLS. Imaging Common Dialogs are provided for numerous image processing, effects and filtering functions.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Reusable dialogs for the most common LEADTOOLS imaging functions and effects are now provided.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ A Thumbnail Preview option for the image processing dialogs allows the end user to preview the proposed change to the image, before actually affecting the original image.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ An optional Help callback function lets you provide custom help information for each dialog.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ A user interface control for the dialogs is provided through flags in the structure passed to each dialog function.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ An option to have the Imaging Common Dialog process the image automatically is provided.

Executable demos are included in all LEADTOOLS products. The executable demos provide a quick and easy way to evaluate the LEADTOOLS Common Dialog features and performance.

The LEADTOOLS Common Dialog features come in a WIN32 edition so that it can support development of software applications for any of the following environments:

Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows 2000

Please note that if you have purchased an eval version of a LEADTOOLS toolkit, this help file contains the same information as the help file included in the standard release toolkit. Consequently, references to the .DLL and .LIB files contain an N designation. The .DLL and .LIB files included with the evaluation toolkit contain an E designation. Therefore, any references in the help file to xx14N.DLL or xx_N.LIB files refer to the corresponding xx14E.DLL or xx_E.LIB files. For example, if the help file refers to LTBAR14N.DLL, your corresponding file is LTBAR14E.DLL.
