In This Topic
Returns the type of the image masking of an image, specified by its index within the currently selected page of the loaded PDF document.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function GetPageImageMaskMode( _
   ByVal ImageIdx As Integer _
) As PdfImageMaskType
public PdfImageMaskType GetPageImageMaskMode(

public: PdfImageMaskType GetPageImageMaskMode( 
   int ImageIdx
) 
public:
PdfImageMaskType GetPageImageMaskMode( 
   int ImageIdx
) 

Parameters

ImageIdx
The 0-based index of the image within the current page. It must be a value from 0 to GetPageImageCount-1.

Return Value

A member of the PdfImageMaskType enumeration. A masking type of a specified image.

The GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

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

It is recommend to use the GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Example
How to properly use the mask mode when replacing images, which have been converted to black and white.
