GdPicture14 Namespace / GdPicturePDF Class / GetOCGViewState Method
The unique identifier of the required OCG entry. You can obtain this identifier using the GetOCG method.
Example





In This Topic
GetOCGViewState Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Returns the value of the View state setting of an optional content group specified by its unique identifier.

The View state indicates the onscreen visibility, that means if the content of this group is viewable.

Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function GetOCGViewState( _
   ByVal OCGId As Integer _
) As PdfOcgState
public PdfOcgState GetOCGViewState( 
   int OCGId
)

    OCGId: Integer
): PdfOcgState; 
public function GetOCGViewState( 
   OCGId : int
) : PdfOcgState;
public: PdfOcgState GetOCGViewState( 
   int OCGId
) 
public:
PdfOcgState GetOCGViewState( 
   int OCGId
) 

Parameters

OCGId
The unique identifier of the required OCG entry. You can obtain this identifier using the GetOCG method.

Return Value

A member of the PdfOcgState enumeration. The value of the View state setting. 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.
