Introduction

LEADTOOLS COM has several custom controls and COM Objects developed by LEAD Technologies, Inc.

LEAD Raster Object provides objects for adding basic BITMAP functionality into your applications. The objects in this library are used by many of the other objects and controls in the LEADTOOLS COM product.

LEAD RasterIO Object provides objects for incorporating image file format input, output, compression and decompression into your applications.

LEAD RasterProcess Object provides objects for incorporating image processing (filters, transforms, etc.) into your applications.

LEAD RasterView Control provides controls for incorporating image display into your applications.

LEAD RasterTwain Object provides an object for incorporating TWAIN scanner control into your applications. Information on this object can be found in the LEADTOOLS TWAIN COM Help File (Lttwncomn.chm) in the HELP directory.

LEAD RasterDlg Object provides objects for incorporating imaging common dialogs into your applications. These dialogs provided a quick and easy way to get and utilize user input necessary for image processing.

LEAD RasterAnnotation provides objects for incorporating annotations into your applications.

LEAD RasterAnnMenu provides objects for modifying annotation automation menus.

LEAD RasterAnnToolBar provides objects for incorporating an Annotation Toolbar into your applications. This toolbar makes interaction with annotation easier.

LEAD RasterOLEDB provides objects for incorporating database access, using an OLE DB Provider, into your applications.

LEAD RasterODBC provides objects for incorporating database access, using Open Database Connectivity, into your applications.

LEAD RasterFXD provides objects for incorporating special effects.

LEAD RasterThumbnail provides objects for generating thumbnails of LEAD supported images from a directory.

LEAD ImageList Control provides controls for displaying and manipulating image lists.

LEAD Raster ISIS Object provides custom controls for incorporating ISIS scanner control into your applications.

LEAD Raster Mixed Raster Content Object provides an object for enhancing LEADTOOLS input/output functionality by adding support for color documents containing mixed image and text components.

LEAD Raster PDF Compressor Object provides advanced PDF compression support.
