Also known as File properties, Summary properties contain information about TIFF image documents.
There are five property types:
The property types provide a way to organize information about TIFF image documents. For example, the Author property could contain the name of the person who scanned the image document ("Dave Monroe"), while the Keyword property could describe the image document ("Purchase Order").
The Image Admin control has several properties and methods that enable you to add Summary property functions to your image-enabled applications.
If implemented in your program, end users can enter and maintain Summary property information. They will also be able to search for image documents by property content using the Find Image Files dialog box, which can be invoked via the ShowFileDialog method of the Image Admin control.
Note: Reading and writing of Summary properties is available with Imaging for Windows Professional Edition V1.0, V1.1, and V2.0 only. Summary properties are read-only with Imaging for Windows 98.
