GdViewer Class

In This Topic
The GdViewer class is designed to fully automate most viewing operations you require. The instance of this class can be used as an image viewer control to view supported files, images, PDF documents, as well as easily zoom, rotate, define display area, print or even create thumbnails of those loaded documents.

On the other hand, it can also be used as an interactive tool allowing you to add and edit solely GdPictureXMP annotations.

Remarks
Please, be aware that GdViewer is developed to handle documents, specifically images, in read-only mode. As its name says, it is only a viewer by the definition. If you want to properly deal with images, for example, to rotate page and subsequently save the image, please use the GdPictureImaging class instead.

Please find some sample projects here to fully see, how to create, integrate and use the GdViewer control in your application.

Example
How to create and integrate the GdViewer control into your application. 
'Define GdViewer object in your application.
Friend WithEvents GdViewer1 As GdViewer
            
'Create an instance.
GdViewer1 = New GdViewer()
            
'Set your preferred properties here.
GdViewer1.Name = "GdViewer1"
GdViewer1.SetBackgroundColor(GdViewer1.ARGBI(255, 245, 245, 220))
' ...
            
'Add to your application controls.
Controls.Add(GdViewer1)
            
'Probably the GdViewer1 instance is disposed of automatically in your application,
'but you can still do it this way.
'GdViewer1.Dispose()
//Define GdViewer object in your application.
internal GdViewer GdViewer1;
            
//Create an instance.
GdViewer1 = new GdViewer();
            
//Set your preferred properties here.
GdViewer1.Name = "GdViewer1";
GdViewer1.SetBackgroundColor(GdViewer1.ARGBI(255, 245, 245, 220));
// ...
            
//Add to your application controls.
Controls.Add(GdViewer1);
            
//Probably the GdViewer1 instance is disposed of automatically in your application,
//but you can still do it this way.
//GdViewer1.Dispose();
