DynaPDFMBS.SetLicenseKey(Value as string)   Deprecated

dim pdf as DynaPDFMBS // your DynaPDF object
pdf.SetLicenseKey("1234567890") // enter your code here

If the value represents a correct license key the demo string does not longer appear on PDF pages. Once a correct key was set, it will be active until the library is unloaded or the current PDF object is released. Note that the key must be entered for each PDF object or process of a multi-threading application separately.

The license key must not be stored in the registry or other files in an unencrypted form.

You need to buy a license key from MBS.
The key will unlock the library to not run in demo mode.

Pro license is required for the following functions:

• BeginTransparencyGroup
• ConvertColors
• Create3DAnnot
• CreateSoftMask
• FlattenForm
• GetPageText
• ImportPage and ImportPageEx
• ParseContent
• RenderAnnotOrField
• RenderPage
• SetCMapDir
• SetExtColorSpace, SetExtFillColorSpace and SetExtStrokeColorSpace.
• SetUseGlobalImpFiles

• AddRenderingIntent and AddRenderingIntentEx
• CreateFormFields
• CloseFileEx
• ConvertEMFSpool
• CreateCollection
• CreateExtGState
• InsertMetafile and InsertMetafileEx
• OpenImportBuffer, OpenImportFile and OpenImportStream
• SetPDFVersion for PDF/A and PDF/X

See also SetLicenseKey function in DynaPDF manual.

DynaPDFMBS.SetLicenseKeyGlobal(Value as string)   Private

Please call shared method in app.open.
Because if you make a new object and set key, it's too late.

• SetLicenseKeyGlobal(Value as string)

DynaPDFMBS.SetLineAnnotParms(Handle as UInt32, FontHandle as Integer, FontSize as Double, Params as DynaPDFLineAnnotParameterMBS) as boolean

The parameter Parms can be set to nil to delete all measure line specific values. The parameters FontHandle and FontSize will be ignored in this case.
The member Caption specifies whether the parameter Content of the function LineAnnot should be used as caption of the measure line. Although a measure line can display the string in a PopUp annotation like ordinary line annotations, this is not recommended and not fully supported in Adobe's Acrobat or Reader.
If Caption is true (recommended), the caption is drawn horizontally centered either on top or inside the measure line. The text position can be changed from its normal position with the members CaptionOffsetX and CaptionOffsetY.
The parameter FontHandle can be used to specify an arbitrary font that should be used to draw the caption. Although it is possible to use any font or font size greater 0 with DynaPDF, a PDF viewer will change the font and font size to it's default values when the annotation will be edited since line annotations support no property to specify the font or font size.
Function Reference

The default font to draw the caption is Helvetica and the default font size is 9 units. In order to use the default font set the parameter FontHandle to -1. The default font size is used if the parameter FontSize is set to to zero.

Returns true on success or false on failure.

DynaPDFMBS.SetLineCapStyle(Style as Integer) as Boolean

DynaPDFMBS.SetLineDashPattern(Dash as string, Phase as Integer) as Boolean

See also SetLineDashPattern function in DynaPDF manual.

DynaPDFMBS.SetLineDashPattern2(dash() as double, Phase as double) as Boolean

Returns true on success.
If array is nil, the pattern is removed.
