public:
virtual ICogTransform2D^ GetTransform(
	String^ toSpace, 
	String^ fromSpace
)

public:
virtual ICogTransform2D^ GetTransform(
	String^ toSpace, 
	String^ fromSpace
)

Parameters

toSpace: Type: System String
The destination space.

fromSpace: Type: System String
The source space.

Return Value

Type: ICogTransform2D

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
AxHost InvalidActiveXStateException	Thrown when the display control is invalid.

Remarks

GetTransform(String, String) lets you transform locations between the display's coordinate spaces and screen coordinates (which have the special name "*").

The values that you specify for fromSpace and toSpace must be one of the following:

"*"
"#"
a named space in UserPixelTree or UserDisplayTree
a named space in the image being displayed (including "." and "@")
