function GetString(const key: WideString; const Def: string; recursive: boolean = True): WideString; overload;
Description
Returns the string value to which the key is mapped in this dictionary. If the key doesn't exist an exception is raised.
Parameter | Description |
key | A key in this dictionary |
recursive | If true then search this key inside sub-dictionaries |
Note: Use '#text' as the key to get the values from a tag list, e.g. memo1.lines.add( dict.GetString( '#text', false ));
// Return the photo description from the XMP metadata
sDescription := ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'dc:description' );
// Return the creation date from the XMP metadata (XMP date strings are formatted the same EXIF date strings)
dtCreateDate := EXIFDateToDateTime( ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'xmp:CreateDate' ));
// Return the creator or author of the asset from the XMP metadata. If not found, return '' instead of rasing exception
sCreator := ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'dc:creator', '' );
// Return location information about the content being shown in the image
sLocation := ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'photoshop:City' ) + ', ' +
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'photoshop:State' ) + ', ' +
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'photoshop:Country' );
// Return the document title from the XMP metadata
sTitle := ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'dc:title' );
// Return the document keywords from the XMP metadata
sKeywords := ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'dc:subject' );
// Return the document copyright information from the XMP metadata
sCopyright := ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'dc:rights' );
// Return the Photoshop Headline from the XMP metadata. If not found, return '' instead of rasing exception
sHeadline := ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'photoshop:Headline', '' );
// Return the Windows Rating from the XMP metadata (0 to 5)
sRating := ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( 'xmp:Rating' );
// Output all entries of dc:subject->rdf:Bag of JPEG XMP
{
Example XMP content:
<dc:subject>
<rdf:Bag>
<rdf:li>China</rdf:li>
<rdf:li>Jan 2008</rdf:li>
<rdf:li>Shanghai</rdf:li>
</rdf:Bag>
</dc:subject>
Output:
China
Jan 2008
Shanghai
