SetAnnotationOpacity Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic
Sets the opacity value of a required annotation object specified by its index related to the currently selected page of the loaded PDF document. This value is used when painting the annotation and it applies to all visible elements of the annotation in its closed state except of the pop-up window.
Syntax
'Declaration

 

Public Function SetAnnotationOpacity( _

   ByVal AnnotationIdx As Integer, _

   ByVal Opacity As Byte _

) As GdPictureStatus
public GdPictureStatus SetAnnotationOpacity( 

   int AnnotationIdx,

   byte Opacity

)
public function SetAnnotationOpacity( 

    AnnotationIdx: Integer;

    Opacity: Byte

): GdPictureStatus; 
public function SetAnnotationOpacity( 

   AnnotationIdx : int,

   Opacity : byte

) : GdPictureStatus;
public: GdPictureStatus SetAnnotationOpacity( 

   int AnnotationIdx,

   byte Opacity

) 
public:

GdPictureStatus SetAnnotationOpacity( 

   int AnnotationIdx,

   byte Opacity

) 

Parameters

AnnotationIdx
The 0-based index of the required annotation within the current page. It must be a value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetAnnotationCount-1.
Opacity
The new opacity value from 0 (full transparency) to 255 (full opacity) of the specified annotation object.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.

We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

Likewise always ensure that you have selected the correct page using the GdPicturePDF.SelectPage method before applying an annotation index.
