Find(string) Method

Summary

Returns a DicomContextGroup object to the Context Group in the Context Group Table that has the specified Context Identifier (CID).

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

public DicomContextGroup Find( 
   string contextID 
)

- (nullable LTDicomContextGroup *)find:(NSString *)contextID NS_SWIFT_NAME(find(id:));

public: 
DicomContextGroup^ Find(  
   String^ contextID 
)

Parameters

contextID
Context Identifier (CID). For a list of the Context Identifiers of the Context Groups maintained internally, refer to Context Identifier Values.

Return Value

a DicomContextGroup object to the Context Group in the Context Group Table that has the specified Context ID.

Remarks

A Context Group is identified by its Context Identifier (CID). For a list of the Context Identifiers of the Context Groups maintained internally, refer to Context Identifier Values.
Notice that only the Context Groups in the Context Group Table are searched by the method. To add Context Groups to the table, use the Load and Insert methods.
To search for a specific Coded Concept in a Context Group, use the FindCodedConcept method.
