L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_AnnCreate(uObjectType, phObject)
L_UINT uObjectType; |
/* type of annotation object to create */ |
pHANNOBJECT phObject; |
/* address of the variable to be updated */ |
Creates an annotation object of the specified type. This function is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.
Parameter |
Description |
uObjectType |
The type of annotation object to create. For descriptions of object types, refer to Types of Annotations. |
phObject |
Address of the variable to be updated with the handle to the new annotation object. |
Returns
SUCCESS |
The function was successful. |
< 1 |
An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
Comments
(Document/Medical) Before calling this function, you must declare a variable of data type HANNOBJECT. Then, pass the address of the variable in the phObject parameter. This function will update the variable with the handle of the new annotation object.
You must use the L_AnnSet... functions to initialize the object after it is created.
You should not call this function during processing of WM_LTANNEVENT if wParam equals LTANNEVENT_REMOVE or LTANNEVENT_INSERT, or during the ANNENUMCALLBACK callback function
