        HISISDRV hDriver,
        AT_MODE nTag,
        LPDWORD lpdwLength
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
hDriver HISISDRV The handle to the driver.
nTag AT_MODE Specifies the tag for which to return the length of the default value.
lpdwLength LPDWORD Points to the address which will contain the number of elements in the default value of nTag after this function completes.

Return Value:

Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call. If there are no errors, the return value is IGE_SUCCESS.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

Remarks:

The IG_ISIS_tag_get_length_default function retrieves the number of elements in the default value of the specified tag. In the case of an ASCII tag, IG_ISIS_tag_get_length_default returns the number of characters in the current value of the tag. The default value of a tag is specified in the driver.

Use IG_ISIS_tag_get_length_default to retrieve the number of elements or the length of the default value of the tag specified in nTag. This function is especially useful in determining a buffer size to hold the value returned by IG_ISIS_tag_get_ascii_default, because it obtains the number of characters in the default value of the tag, including the NULL terminator. For most other tags, lpdwLength is 1.

Example:

See IG_ISIS_tag_get_length example.
