DictionaryDescriptions Object (IDictionaryDescriptions Interface)

This object is a collection of dictionary descriptions (DictionaryDescription objects). It provides standard collection functionality. See Working with Collections for details.

The DictionaryDescription object can be cast to any of the StandardDictionaryDescription, UserDictionaryDescription, RegExpDictionaryDescription, and ExternalDictionaryDescription objects, which are the descriptions of different dictionary types.

The IBaseLanguage::DictionaryDescriptions property provides access to the dictionary descriptions collection. The collection of prohibiting dictionaries is accessible via the TextLanguage object.

Notes:

  • The indexing of ABBYY FineReader Engine collections starts with 0.
  • The foreach statement in C# (for each in Visual Basic .NET) can be used to manipulate the collection.
