Modifications of existing transactions

 

Some transactions were modified in Release 5.1.

The following transactions were obsoleted:

GetWatermarkFont

SetWatermarkFont

GetWatermarkPageView

SetWatermarkPageView

GetWatermarkParameter

SetWatermarkParameter

GetWatermarkString

SetWatermarkString

They have been replaced with these transactions:

GetStampFont

SetStampFont

GetStampPageView

SetStampPageView

GetStampParameter

SetStampParameter

GetStampString

SetStampString

In renaming these transactions, the parameters have not changed. Only the name has changed, to make it compatible with the Imagenation user interface. The "Watermark" transactions will still work, but any future enhancements will be done to the "Stamp" transactions only.

Changes were also made to these transactions:

· CreatePreviewFile also works for vector images.

· The last option for the initialMode parameter in GetExtDocumentWindowMode, SetExtDocumentWindowMode, and HandleExternalWindow is 16, not 10.

· You can control the display of the new Format Preferences dialog box (available only in Imagenation 95/NT) with ShowDialog.

· Two new action values have been added to the SelectedSetCommand transaction.

· Resolution values between 10 and 4000 can be used in the Merge and the ChangeRaster transactions.

Some notifications have also changed.

· Coordinate units other than proportional can be used with the NotifyIM -- MouseClick notification.

· The placement coordinates for the hotspots notifications now work relibably, and various units can be used with them. This affects the following notifications:

 NotifyIM -- HotspotActivated

 NotifyIM -- HotspotDeleted

 NotifyIM -- HotspotHighlighted

 NotifyIM -- HotspotPlaced
