This function obtains information about the page specified by the nPage parameter from a named multi-page file without actually loading it.

Declaration:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_fltr_pageinfo_get_ex(
   const LPSTR lpszFileName,
   UINT nPage,
   LPAT_MODE lpFileType,
   LPAT_MODE lpCompression,
   HIGDIBINFO* lphDIB
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
lpszFileName const LPSTR Path and name of the file to get the information about. The path can be absolute or relative.
nPage UINT Number of the page in a multi-page file for which to get information.
lpFileType LPAT_MODE Pointer to an AT_MODE variable in which the file type will be returned. See enumIGFormats for possible values.
lpCompression LPAT_MODE Pointer to an AT_MODE variable in which compression type will be returned. See enumIGCompressions for possible values.
lphDIB HIGDIBINFO* Pointer to HIGDIBINFO object to which other file information, such as width, height, Bits Per Pixel etc. will be returned.

Example:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT nErrCount;
AT_MODE fileType;
AT_MODE compression;
HIGDIBINFO hDIB;

nErrCount = IG_fltr_pageinfo_get_ex("picture.tif", 1,
    &fileType, &compression, &hDIB);
if(nErrCount == 0)
{
    // ...
    // Delete DIB info
    IG_DIB_info_delete(hDIB);
}

Remarks:

Any of the output parameters such as lpFileType, lpCompression or lphDIB can be NULL, if the corresponding info is not required.
