public class ExtractMessageCommand : Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand, Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

'Declaration

Public Class ExtractMessageCommand 
   Inherits Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand
   Implements Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

'Usage

Dim instance As ExtractMessageCommand

public sealed class ExtractMessageCommand : Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

function Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Effects.ExtractMessageCommand()

public ref class ExtractMessageCommand : public Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand, Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

This command is used to extract the message that was added to the image by the AddMessageCommand.
Before calling this command, set the password, the starting point, and the directory using the same information used for these when the message was added.
This command can extract a message from any type of lossless image format such as bmp, tiff, lossless jpeg, and so forth. If used with lossy format types the message may be corrupted or lost.
This method supports 24- and 48-bits images, and 8- and 16-bits grayscale images.
Support for 16-bit grayscale and 48-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.

Run the ExtractMessageCommand on an image by loading an image that has an embedded message and extracts the message from it.
