[Resolved] Dataset Clear method fails

[mlhostis]

Hello,

I'm trying to load a dicom file.

When I load a first file, it succeeds.
But when I load a second file and get elements from the dataset, I get
elements of the first file dataset.

So I called the clear method on my DcmFileFormat object before calling
the loadFile method for the second time but the clear method always
return failure.

Could somebody help me ?

Regards,

Morgan

DcmFileFormat::clear() always returns EC_IllegalCall. Why don't you just create a new DcmFileFormat object for the second file?

I could.
I haven't done it for the moment because I'm storing my DcmFileFormat object in a member variable and not in a pointer.

I thought using clear method would have been a better solution.

So I'm going to use a pointer and creating a new DcmFileFormat object.

Thanks for your help.
