Load(DicomContextIdentifierType) Method

Summary

Loads the specified Context Group from the internal table into the Context Group Table.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

public void Load( 
   DicomContextIdentifierType contextID 
)

- (BOOL)loadByType:(LTDicomContextIdentifierType)contextID error:(NSError **)error NS_SWIFT_NAME(load(type:));

public: 
void Load(  
   DicomContextIdentifierType contextID 
)

Parameters

contextID
The Context Identifier (CID) of the Context Group to be loaded from the internal table.

Remarks

You can add a Context Group to the Context Group Table either by loading it from the internal table maintained by LEADTOOLS or by inserting it directly into the Context Group Table. The Context Groups in the internal table are those defined by the DICOM Content Mapping Resource (DCMR). For a list of possible values, refer to Context Identifier Values. To insert a Context Group, use the Insert method. If the Context Group Table already contains a Context Group with the specified Context ID, the method will just return successfully.

Example
