LoadJsonBeforeElementCallback Delegate

Summary

Optional delegate method that is used with the LoadJson methods.

Syntax

C++

public delegate bool LoadJsonBeforeElementCallback( 
   LoadJsonBeforeElementData data 
)

Public Delegate Function LoadJsonBeforeElementCallback( _ 
   ByVal data As LoadJsonBeforeElementData _ 
) As Boolean

public delegate bool LoadJsonBeforeElementCallback(  
   LoadJsonBeforeElementData^ data 
)

Parameters

data
An instance of the LoadJsonBeforeElementData class containing the progress callback data.

Return Value

true to include this DICOM element in the DicomDataSet; false to exclude the element from the DicomDataSet

Remarks

This delegate is called once for each DICOM element, before the element is added to the DicomDataSet. If you pass this delegate with the LoadJson methods, you must fill in certain fields of the data For details, see the documentation for LoadJsonBeforeElementData

Example

This example will load a sample DICOM data set, then save it as an JSON file (with no binary data), and then reload the JSON file into a DicomDataSet object. The LoadJsonBeforeElementCallback callback is used to change the patient name, remove the patient birthdate, and display which elements have children.
