StartRedirecting Method

Summary

Starts file I/O redirection.

Syntax

Java

C++

public void StartRedirecting()

Public Sub StartRedirecting()

public void startRedirecting()

public: 
void StartRedirecting();

Remarks

LEADTOOLS I/O redirection allows you to replace the default input/output methods for opening, reading, writing, seeking, and closing files.

For example, you can redirect all the library I/O methods to your own I/O methods to load/save images from your own streams.

Once you call StartRedirecting, all subsequent file I/O operation will fire the following events:

Event	Operation
RedirectOpen	When the toolkit is trying to open a file
RedirectRead	When the toolkit is trying to reading from a file
RedirectWrite	When the toolkit is trying to writing to a file
RedirectSeek	When the toolkit is trying to seeking into a file
RedirectClose	When the toolkit is trying to closing a file

Call StopRedirecting to reset the I/O methods back to the defaults.

Example

This example demonstrates overriding the default IO routines.
