GetRectLeftOnDocument Method (GdViewer)

In This Topic

Returns the horizontal (X) coordinate (0-based) of the top left point, in pixels, of the rectangle of area selection, related to the current page. The resulting coordinate corresponds to the actual document pages area of the document displayed in the GdViewer control. You can determine, if the rectangle of selection is currently defined and drawn within the control, using the IsRect method.

'Declaration

 

Public Function GetRectLeftOnDocument() As Integer

public int GetRectLeftOnDocument()

public function GetRectLeftOnDocument(): Integer;

public function GetRectLeftOnDocument() : int;

public: int GetRectLeftOnDocument();

public:

int GetRectLeftOnDocument();

Return Value

The horizontal coordinate of the top left point, in pixels, of the rectangle of selection, related to the current page.

Remarks

Be aware that you are allowed to define only one rectangle of selection within the GdViewer control. Likewise, this rectangle always relates to the currently displayed document, meaning that without displaying some document you cannot get valid rectangle's data.

Just to remind you, that this coordinate is 0-based with the origin being in the top left corner in the document pages area and it is related to the current page determined by the CurrentPage property.

Example

How to compare the coordinates of the rectangle of selection related to the document pages area with those related to the viewer area.
