VB.NET example	C# example
Visual Basic example	Visual C++ 6.0 example

Syntax	DICOMIODItem CurrentIOD
Overview	Refer to Working with Information Object Definitions.

Remarks

Holds the currently selected IOD Structure item.

CurrentIOD has the following Read-Only properties:

Property	Type	Description
Code	long	Code value that specifies the Information Object Definition. The information object may be a Class, a Module or a Tag. For lists of default values, refer to Data Element Tag Constants, IOD Class Constants, and IOD Module Constants.
Name	BSTR	Character string that contains the name of the Information Object Definition.
Type	short	The type of Information Object Definition you are working with. Possible values are:
		DICOM_IOD_TYPE_CLASS	[0x00] Class type Information Object Definition.
		DICOM_IOD_TYPE_MODULE	[0x01] Module type Information Object Definition.
		DICOM_IOD_TYPE_ELEMENT	[0x02] Element type Information Object Definition.
Usage	short	Value that indicates whether the Information Object is mandatory, conditional or optional, and the type of usage. For a list of possible values, refer to IOD Usage Constants. For more information about mandatory, conditional, and optional IODs, refer to An Overview of Dicom or the DICOM Spec.
Description	BSTR	Character string that contains a description of the Information Object Definition.
hIOD	long	Memory handle that can be used to uniquely identify an IOD.

Internally LEADTOOLS maintains a tree structure, referred to as the IOD Structure, of available Information Object Definitions (IODs). TheseIODs can include default IODs available in DICOM, as well as user defined IODs. You can access any of this information, add to the IOD Structure, or delete items from the IOD Structure using the xxxIOD and xxxIODxx methods.

Note: The CurrentIOD property is read only, except for the following two situations:

1. If you have a memory handle to a specific item within the IOD table, you can explicitly set the CurrentIOD property to that item using the SetCurrentIOD method.

2. You can explicitly set the CurrentIOD property to 0.
