Hello,

Is there an event that will trigger when a user finishes selecting an area of a document. I have tried the "RegionSelectedByUser" event but that doesn't seem to work. I want to be able to tell when a user has selected an area of a document so that I can OCR the selected area and then copy it that data to the clipboard. When I say "selected an area of the document", I mean when the mouse mode is set to "MouseModeAreaSelection" and they draw a rectangle on the document.

Thanks,
Reagan

Hello!

Yes it is easy to do:

Code: Select all

Private Sub GdViewer1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles GdViewer1.MouseUp
        If GdViewer1.IsRect() Then
            'Do your stuff here
        End If
End Sub

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Loïc
