Changes from Version 9.0 to Version 10
The product line in Version 10 has been redesigned. If you are an existing LEADTOOLS customer, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the new line of products and the new features.
Essentially the changes are as follows:
VBX Pro, ActiveX32 Pro, ActiveX16 Pro, WIN16 Pro, and WIN32 Pro are gone.
ActiveX16/32 Pro is now LEADTOOLS Imaging and includes C, C++, and MFC documentation.
WIN16/32 Pro is now LEADTOOLS Imaging Pro.
The Video module is no longer available as an add-on. LEAD's Multimedia support is included in the following new products: LEADTOOLS Multimedia, LEADTOOLS Multimedia Pro, LEADTOOLS Document Express, LEADTOOLS Document Express Suite and LEADTOOLS Medical Express.
The Pro-Express document imaging features, annotations, bitonal display filters, fast rotation, ISIS® support and faster compression and decompression are included in all Express editions.
The OCR Module is no longer available. LEAD's OCR support is only in the LEADTOOLS Document Express Suite toolkit.
LEADTOOLS Medical Express contains all of the features present in the Express editions, plus DICOM, 12 and 16 bit grayscale, and window leveling support.
Version 10 of the LEADTOOLS ActiveX has changed from version 9.0 as follows. (For step-by-step help, refer to Upgrade Instructions.)
Loading WMF files at the resolution present in the file is now supported.
Saving WMF files at the current resolution is now supported.
Loading and saving JBIG is now supported. (Saving is only available in the JBIG Module.)
J++ code samples are now included.
Updated the manner in which annotation object selection code tests for the following objects:
Line Annotation Object
Polyline Annotation Object
Freehand Line Annotation Object
Rectangle Annotation Object
Ellipse Annotation Object
Polygon Annotation Object
Pointer Annotation Object
Ruler Annotation Object
For objects that have an interior (ex. Rectangle, Ellipse), if the fill mode is transparent and the fill style is solid, the object will only be selected if the user clicks on the border of the object. If the fill mode is anything other than transparent, the object can be selected by clicking on its interior.
This will allow the user to select an annotation object that is beneath another object, without having to change the enumeration order.
Added Grouping and Ungrouping of annotation objects. This allows the user to treat several annotation objects as a single object. Objects must then be ungrouped to be treated as individual objects.
Added the ability to remove menu items from the Annotation Automation menu by setting the menu item text to an empty string using AnnSetAutoText method.
Minimized flicker effect for annotation object display.
Users can no longer create objects outside the root container.
Users can no longer move objects outside the root container.
Multipass painting for the EFX_EFFECT_PUSH_CLASS is disabled. For a list of available effects, refer to Effects.
Loading and saving Lossless JPEG is now supported.
Loading and saving Lossless JTIF is now supported.
Loading and saving 12-bit Lossy JPEG is now supported.
Loading and saving 12-bit Lossy JTIF is now supported.
Saving 12-bit uncompressed TIFF is now supported.
Loading and saving EMF files is now supported.
Database access though an OLE DB Provider is now provided.
Optimized code takes advantage of the MMX processors to load CMP, JPEG, and JTIF files 40% faster.
LEADTOOLS will now attempt to automatically recognize fax files only if you respond to the LoadInfo event and set the LoadInfoWidth and LoadInfoHeight properties to -1.
Special Effects have expanded to include a choice of over 2000 paint effects, 36 gradients, 80 shapes, 12 3-D text styles, 64 dissolves, and 43 transition effects, with delays, grain sizes, pattern brushes and a colored wand.
2018 Effects are now supported. For the full list, refer to Effects.
80 Shapes are now supported. For a full list, refer to Shapes.
36 Gradients are now supported. For a full list, refer to Gradients.
Imaging Common Dialogs have been expanded to include imaging dialogs for Paint Effect, Transition, Gradient, 3D Text and 3D Shape.
Added File Format Support includes the new Fuji Exif version 2.0, multipage TIFF enhancements (delete, insert, replace, and add with enhanced speed). LEAD continues to deliver the most comprehensive file format support by expanding the number of flavors and variants supported in the following file formats: PICT, JPEG, GIF, WINFAX, PCX, CALS, AWD, FlashPix, DICOM, EPS, PSD,and PNG.
New PanWindow properties, methods and events give you the ability to view a small rectangular section of a large image in magnified detail. By clicking inside the pan window you can move the mouse and pan the image in the main window. While scrolling the image in the main window, the pan rectangle will move to indicate the current displayed area.
New properties provide total page information and insert or replace a page in a multipage file.
You can now delete individual pages in a multipage file.
Using the new Picturize method, you can replace an image with a new image generated using a picturized algorithm – an image processing feature that allows you to create one picture from thousands of separate images. Automatically chooses (based on closest color values) and resizes the images and shows the processing progress. Allows for customization of cell sizes. This feature lets user’s create a wide array of exciting new eye-catching images. The more pictures you have to choose from, the better the resulting image.
Screen Capture capabilities becomes the 15th imaging technology category found in LEADTOOLS. New properties, methods, and events allow you to capture all or part of the screen into a bitmap. Capture the entire screen, active window, menu under cursor, window under cursor (button, tool bar, icon, or client area), selected object, mouse cursor or wallpaper. Allows for capture of a selected area of the screen in a wide array of shapes such as rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, polygon or freehand. Icon, bitmap and cursor resources can be captured from 32-bit Windows EXE and DLL files. Options include Multi-capture with callback, Hot Keys, and time interval. Great for presentation and application documentation.
EnumDimensions method now supports JBIG.
DimensionCount property now supports JBIG.
DimensionHeight property now supports JBIG.
DimensionWidth property now supports JBIG.
GetDimension method now supports JBIG.
Pixel property now supports 16-bit grayscale COLORREF values. (Medical Express editions only)
Fill method now supports 16-bit grayscale COLORREF values. (Medical Express editions only)
Save method now takes a short iModify parameter instead of the BOOL bMultipage parameter.
RecognizeEvent event (OCR Control) now supports another option for the nStatus parameter. (Refer to the Ltocrn.hlp help file)
ISISAcquireMulti method now supports a new flag for the uFlags parameter.
SaveMulti property (Common Dialog Control) is now short, instead of BOOL.
ISISPage event (ISIS Control) now fills the Bitmap property with the scanned image when doing mulit-page scanning.
Improved ISIS® support. ISISSetScanOptions method (ISIS Control) allows you to display ISIS settings dialog, without scanning.
[Medical Express only] Improved TWAIN scanning to support 16-bit grayscale images is now provided.
Automatic recognition of some Group 3 - 1D and Group 3 - 2D raw fax files is now provided.
The OCR has been enhanced to include the ability to return the recognized character and its location in the document during the recognition process.
The rest of this topic lists the new properties, methods, and events in version 10.
