GetTextOccurrenceCount(Int32,String,Boolean,Boolean,Boolean) Method

In This Topic

Searches for an occurrence of a given text expression within the specified page of the document displayed in the GdViewer control according to the parameters you have specified. If the format of the displayed document is other than supported text-based formats, which currently are DOCX, TXT, RTF and PDF, the method will fail.

You can benefit from selecting the comparison option using this method, in other words, you can search respecting accents or not in the given text expression.

public: int GetTextOccurrenceCount( 

   int Page,

   string* Text,

   bool CaseSensitive,

   bool WholeWords,

   bool OrdinalComparison

)

public:

int GetTextOccurrenceCount( 

   int Page,

   String^ Text,

   bool CaseSensitive,

   bool WholeWords,

   bool OrdinalComparison

)

Parameters

Page: The number of the page to search for text. It must be a value from 1 to the value of the PageCount property.
Text: The text expression to search for.
CaseSensitive: Set this parameter to true if you want to apply case-sensitive search, otherwise set it to false.
WholeWords: Set this parameter to true if you want to search for the whole words only, otherwise set it to false.
OrdinalComparison: Set this parameter to true if you want to search applying the ordinal (binary) sort rules, otherwise set it to false. An ordinal comparison compares strictly on the numeric character values, that means it does not respect accents.

Return Value

The number of occurrences if the given text expression has been found on the current page according to the specified parameters. The GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks

This method is only useful for text-based document formats, like DOCX, TXT, RTF and PDF.
