InitFromFile Method (AnnotationManager)

In This Topic
Initializes the current AnnotationManager object from a file according to a file path you have specified. The document previously handled by this AnnotationManager object will automatically close.

All document formats currently supported by the toolkit are listed here.

Be aware that the AnnotationManager object only handles GdPicture/XMP annotations contained in the source document.

Syntax
'Declaration

 


Public Function InitFromFile( _

   ByVal Path As String _

) As GdPictureStatus
public GdPictureStatus InitFromFile( 

   string Path

)
public function InitFromFile( 

    Path: String

): GdPictureStatus; 
public function InitFromFile( 

   Path : String

) : GdPictureStatus;
public: GdPictureStatus InitFromFile( 

   string* Path

) 
public:

GdPictureStatus InitFromFile( 

   String^ Path

)

Parameters

Path
The file path of the source document.

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 requires the Annotations component to run.

Example
How to initialize the AnnotationManager object from a JPEG file. 
Dim annotationManager As AnnotationManager = New AnnotationManager()

If (annotationManager.InitFromFile("test.jpeg") = GdPictureStatus.OK) AndAlso

   (annotationManager.PageCount > 0) AndAlso (annotationManager.SelectPage(1) = GdPictureStatus.OK) Then

    Dim stamp As GdPicture14.Annotations.AnnotationRubberStamp = annotationManager.AddRubberStampAnnot(Color.Red, 0.5F, 0.5F, 2, 1, "APPROVED")

    If stamp IsNot Nothing Then

        stamp.Rotation = 20

        If (annotationManager.SaveAnnotationsToPage() = GdPictureStatus.OK) AndAlso

           (annotationManager.SaveDocumentToJPEG("test_approved.jpeg") = GdPictureStatus.OK) Then

            MessageBox.Show("Finished successfully!", "AnnotationManager.InitFromFile")

        Else

            MessageBox.Show("The file can't be saved. Status: " + annotationManager.GetStat().ToString(), "AnnotationManager.InitFromFile")

        End If

        stamp.Dispose()

    Else

        MessageBox.Show("The rubber stamp annotation can't be created. Status: " + annotationManager.GetStat().ToString(), "AnnotationManager.InitFromFile")

    End If

    annotationManager.Close()

Else

    MessageBox.Show("The AnnotationManager can't be properly initialized. Status: " + annotationManager.GetStat().ToString(), "AnnotationManager.InitFromFile")
