    IG_PDE_clip_get_element_count
    In This Topic

    Gets the number of top-level elements in a clip object.

    Declaration:

     
    Copy Code
    AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_PDE_clip_get_element_count(
            HIG_PDE_CLIP hClip,
            LPUINT lpnCount
    );
    

    Arguments:

    Name Type Description
    hClip HIG_PDE_CLIP The clip object to examine.
    lpnCount LPUINT Number of path and charpath elements in clip. If clip contains PDE Groups, this function returns the top-level PDE Path, PDE Text, PDE Container, PDE Group, or PDE Place object. Use IG_PDE_clip_enumerate_elements to see only the PDE Path and PDE Text objects. 
    PDEGroup is not a persistent object. You cannot save to PDF and re-get group objects.

    Return Value:

    Error count.

    Supported Raster Image Formats:

    This function does not process image pixels.

    Remarks:

    Top-level elements may be a path or char-path, a marked content container or place, or a group.

    Paths are represented as PDE Path objects; char-paths are represented as PDE Text objects.
