ConvertToRegionHandle Method

Summary

Converts a LEADTOOLS Leadtools.RasterRegion to a GDI HRGN object.

Syntax

C++

public static IntPtr ConvertToRegionHandle( 
   RasterRegion region, 
   RasterRegionXForm xform 
)

Public Shared Function ConvertToRegionHandle( _ 
   ByVal region As RasterRegion, _ 
   ByVal xform As RasterRegionXForm _ 
) As IntPtr

public: 
static IntPtr ConvertToRegionHandle(  
   RasterRegion^ region, 
   RasterRegionXForm^ xform 
)

Parameters

region
The source LEADTOOLS region. This parameter cannot be null (Nothing in VB).

xform
Leadtools.RasterRegionXForm object that LEADTOOLS uses to translate between display coordinates and image coordinates.

Return Value

The GDI HRGN object this method creates. You must delete this object after using it using the Windows DeleteObject API.

Remarks

The LEADTOOLS Leadtools.RasterRegion class provides a platform independent representation of an area of interest in a Leadtools.RasterImage that can be used in any platform supported by LEADTOOLS such as GDI, GDI+, and WPF. Use this class To convert a LEADTOOLS Leadtools.RasterRegion object to/from a GDI HRGN and System.Drawing (GDI+) System.Drawing.Region object.

For more information refer to RasterImage and GDI/GDI+.
