HitTestZone Method

Summary

Gets the zero-based index of the zone under a certain point.

Syntax

C#
VB
Java
Objective-C
WinRT C#
C++
public int HitTestZone( 
   LogicalPoint point 
) 
Function HitTestZone( _ 
   ByVal point As Leadtools.Forms.LogicalPoint _ 
) As Integer 
- (NSUInteger)hitTestZone:(LeadPoint)point 
public int hitTestZone(LeadPoint point) 
function Leadtools.Forms.Ocr.IOcrPage.HitTestZone(  
   point  
) 

Parameters

point
The test point in logical coordinates.

Return Value

The zero-based index of the zone under point, if no zone is under the test point, this method will return -1.

Remarks

You can use this method to check whether a zone (either added manually or automatically) is under a given test point. For example, if you have a Windows Forms based application with the current IOcrPage in a ImageViewer control. You might want to draw the zones on the surface of the viewer. For this, you can use the GetZoneBoundsInPixels methods. If you want to allow the user to click with the mouse on the viewer to select and de-select zones, you can use HitTestZone.

Example

This example will view the OCR Page and its zones in a ImageViewer control. It will then allow the user to select/deselect zones with the mouse.
