Syntax

C#
VB
C++
  
Public Function GenerateMasterFormAttributes( _ 
   ByVal image As Leadtools.RasterImage, _ 
   ByVal name As String, _ 
   ByVal id As Guid, _ 
   ByVal formOptions As Leadtools.Forms.Recognition.FormRecognitionOptions, _ 
   ByVal pagesOptions As List(Of PageRecognitionOptions) _ 
) As Leadtools.Forms.Recognition.FormRecognitionAttributes 
public: 
Leadtools.Forms.Recognition.FormRecognitionAttributes^ GenerateMasterFormAttributes(  
   Leadtools.RasterImage^ image, 
   String^ name, 
   Guid id, 
   Leadtools.Forms.Recognition.FormRecognitionOptions^ formOptions, 
   List<PageRecognitionOptions^>^ pagesOptions 
)  

Parameters

image
Master form image, it must have all master form page images.

name
The Master Form name.

id
The Master Form ID.

formOptions
Specifies the options for the Master Form.

pagesOptions
List of Leadtools.Forms.Recognition.PageRecognitionOptions for all form pages.

Return Value

Returns the Master Forms attributes if the set Object Managers are able to extract its features, otherwise it returns null.

Remarks

This method is used to create form attributes to the Master Forms (unfilled form). The attributes that are generated using this method cannot be used as a Form attributes.

It returns null if the Object Managers that are set in the constructor are not suitable for this form, i.e. the Master Form does not have any features of the set Object Managers. Try using another Object Manager in order to detect the Master Form features.
