ObjectiveC Syntax

 function Leadtools.Dicom.DicomTagTable.LoadXml(String)( 
   file 
)

public:
void LoadXml( 
   String^ file
)

Parameters

file: string that contains the name of the XML file containing the DICOM element tags to load.

Beginning with version 17.5 of the toolkit, you can easily and quickly customize the DICOM Element Tag table by editing the dicTableElement.xml file that is found in the LEADTOOLS Sample Images folder. The dicTableElement.xml file is a human-readable XML file that lists all of the DICOM Element Tags currently defined in the DICOM Specification. You can edit this with any text editor (for example, notepad) to add or remove DICOM Elements. Then call LoadXml(String) and pass the full path of the dicTableElement.xml file. Note that calling LoadXml(String) will first remove all DICOM elements that are already present in the table.
