public IOcrZoneCharacters FindZoneCharacters(
int zoneIndex
)
zoneIndex
Zero-based index of the required zone.
An IOcrZoneCharacters collection containing the characters for the specified zone.
Each IOcrPageCharacters contain a collection of the collection of characters for each zone. To get the characters of a particular zone you can either iterate through all the members of IOcrPageCharacters and find the item with IOcrZoneCharacters.ZoneIndex equal to zoneIndex, or you can use the FindZoneCharacters helper method to get the same value.
