FromAnnObject Method

Converts a LEADTOOLS AnnObject object to a Leadtools.Dicom.DicomAnnotationObject.

public DicomAnnotationObject FromAnnObject( 
   object annObject 
) 

  
Public Function FromAnnObject( _ 
   ByVal annObject As Object _ 
) As Leadtools.Dicom.DicomAnnotationObject 

public: 
Leadtools.Dicom.DicomAnnotationObject^ FromAnnObject(  
   Object^ annObject 
)  

Parameters

Return Value

A DICOM annotation Leadtools.Dicom.DicomAnnotationObject if successful; null if the Leadtools.Annotations.AnnObjectcannot be converted.

A Leadtools.Dicom.DicomAnnotationObject has a layer name, but an Leadtools.Annotations.AnnObject does not. Set the LayerName property prior to calling this method. Note that the annObject is of type Leadtools.Annotations.AnnObject Note: for Silverlight users, the annObject object is of type Leadtools.Windows.Annotations.AnnObject.

This sample does the following:

1. Creates a LEAD Leadtools.Annotations.AnnRectangleObject annotation
2. Creates a converter
3. Converts to a Leadtools.Dicom.DicomAnnotationObject annotation
4. Converts back to a LEAD AnnObject
