L_AnnLoadOffset

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_AnnLoadOffset(fd, nOffset, phObject, pLoadOptions)

L_INT fd;	/* Windows file handle of the file to load */
L_INT32 nOffset;	/* position of the first byte to load */
L_UINT32 nLength;	/* number of bytes to read */
pHANNOBJECT phObject;	/* address of the variable to be updated */
pLOADFILEOPTION pLoadOptions;	/* pointer to optional extended load options */

Loads annotations from a position within a file. This enables you to load an annotation file that is embedded in another file. This function is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Parameter	Description
fd	The Windows file handle of the file to load.
nOffset	The position, from the beginning of the file, of the first byte to load. (The byte count starts at zero.)
nLength	The number of bytes of annotation data to read from the file. If you saved the offset using L_AnnSaveOffset, the variable pointed to by puSizeWritten in that function contains the length of data saved. If you do not know the length of the data, pass 0xFFFFFFFF for this parameter.
phObject	Address of the variable to be updated with the handle to the container object of the loaded annotations.
pLoadOptions	Pointer to optional extended load options. Pass NULL to use the default load options.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

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 to the container object of the loaded annotations.
