OcrProgressCallback Delegate

Summary

Monitors progress of OCR operations.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public delegate void OcrProgressCallback( 
   IOcrProgressData data 
)

Public Delegate Sub OcrProgressCallback( _ 
   ByVal data As IOcrProgressData _ 
)

typedef void (^LTOcrProgressHandler)(LTOcrProgressData *progressData)

void OcrProgressListener.onProgress(OcrProgressData data)

public delegate void OcrProgressCallback(  
   IOcrProgressData^ data 
)

Parameters

data
An instance of the IOcrProgressData interface containing the progress callback data.

Remarks

The OCR engine will continuously invoke the callback procedure during the different OCR operations with an instance of IOcrProgressData providing the current processing stage and a percentage indicator value. Use this function to indicate progress of application operations.

The callback can set the IOcrProgressData.Status property at any time to OcrProgressStatus.Abort to abort the OCR process and cancel all pending operations.

Example

This example will display a simple "Processing" Windows Forms dialog that can be used to show OCR operation progress as well as allow the user to abort the current operation. You can plug this dialog into your application and call it in response to user-interface commands that correspond to OCR operations.
