Leadtools.Forms.Ocr Namespace > IOcrEngine Interface : IsStarted Property



Determines whether this IOcrEngine has been started and is ready to be used.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Overridable ReadOnly Property IsStarted As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As IOcrEngine
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.IsStarted
C# 
virtual bool IsStarted {get;}
C++/CLI 
virtual property bool IsStarted {
   bool get();
}

Return Value

true if this IOcrEngine has been started and is ready to be used, otherwise it is false.

Example

For an example, refer to Startup.

Remarks

The Startup method must be called before invoking any other methods or properties in this IOcrEngine.

To check if the engine is started, use the IsStarted property.

You must call Shutdown to shut down the engine and free the memory and resources used.

You can call the Startup method multiple times, only the first call will start the engine while subsequent calls will only increment an internal counter. You must call Shutdown for each Startup called.

The IOcrEngine interface implements IDisposable. It is highly recommended that you call Dispose (or use the usingstatement in C# or Using statement in Visual Basic) when creating the IOcrEngine instance. The Dispose method automatically shuts down the engine if it has been started.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family
