The RxRedline Object

Introduction to RxRedLine

General Information

The RxRedCOM component enables your application not only to load and display redlines created by the Rasterex viewing applications, but also to create and save redlines in Rasterex style and format.

NOTE: RxRedCOM has been designed to cooperate with the other RxViewCOM components and cannot be used when these components are not used to load and display the document on which markups are to be rendered.

Redline File Types

Redlines can be saved in three different file types: Multi-user files, 000-files, and X00-files.

Multi-file: Contains all redlines for all users in a single file. The file will have the same name as the viewed file, but the file extension will be replaced with the string specified by the FileExtension property (default Rasterex extension is .XCM).
000-files: Contains all redlines for only one user, with one file per user. The file will have the same name as the viewed file, with extensions ranging from .000 to .999 (e.g., .000 for the first user, .001 for the second, etc.).
X00-files: Contains all redlines for only one user, with one file per user. The file will have the same name as the viewed file, with extensions ranging from .A00 to .Z99 (e.g., .A00 for the first user, .A01 for the second, etc.).
