Parameter

Description

hObject

Handle to the annotation object.

nObjectType

Constant that specifies an object's type. For descriptions of possible object types, refer to Types of Annotations. This parameter is valid only if hObject is an automation object.

pEnable

An array of bit flags that is updated with values that specify whether the corresponding menu item specified in pEnableFlags is enabled or disabled. The bits in the pEnable array are ordered just like the bits in the pEnableFlags array. Therefore, if pEnableFlags[0] & 0x40 == 1 is true, and pEnable[0] & 0x40 == 1 is also true, then the ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_CUT menu item will be displayed, based on the values of hObject and uFlags.

pEnableFlags

An array of bit flags that is updated with values that indicate which menu items have been changed from their default behavior. The bits are ordered from most significant to least significant. Therefore, pEnableFlags[0] contains flags for menu items 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6, 7. This corresponds to ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_UNDO,

ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_CUT,

ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_COPY,

ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_PASTE,

ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_DELETE,

ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_SELECTALL,

ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_BRINGTOFRONT, and

ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_SENDTOBACK.

For example, if pEnableFlags[0] & 0x40 == 1 is true, the ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_CUT menu item has been changed from its default behavior. To determine whether the menu item is enabled or disabled, check the corresponding bit flag in pEnable.

uBits

Number of bits in the pEnableFlags and pEnable arrays. The number of bytes pointed to by pEnable and pEnableFlags can be determined using the following equation: Bytes = (uBits + 7) / 8.

SUCCESS

The function was successful.
