LVectorHPolyBezier::LockObject

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LVectorHPolyBezier::LockObject(pObject)

Gets the object information of the class object.

Returns

Comments

This function is used to retrieve the object information of the class object.

To use this method, declare a variable of the VECTORHPOLYBEZIER type and pass the address to this function. After modifying the vector object settings, call LVectorHPolyBezier::UnlockObject (). LVectorHPolyBezier::LockObject () and LVectorHPolyBezier::UnlockObject () should always be called in pairs.

Before an object has been added to the LVectorBase object, using LVectorBase::AddObject or LVectorLayer::AddObject, LVectorHPolyBezier::UnlockObject () can be used to change ALL properties of an object. However, once the object has been added to the LVectorBase object, some properties cannot be changed using LVectorHPolyBezier::UnlockObject ().However, as long as the number of points does not change, the coordinates of the individual points can always be modified using LVectorHPolyBezier::UnlockObject ().

To change the object information for a class object, call LVectorHPolyBezier::UnlockObject.

LVectorHPolyBezier::LockObject and LVectorHPolyBezier::UnlockObject must be called in pairs.

Note that rotating an object may change the object type. However, not all object types are changed by rotation, and not all rotations result in changing an object type. For example, a rectangle rotated 90 degrees about the z-axis is still a rectangle. A rectangle rotated 45 degrees about the z-axis becomes a polydraw object. The table below indicates object types that may change following rotation and the possible resulting object types.

If an object type changes, LVectorHPolyBezier::LockObject and LVectorHPolyBezier::UnlockObject will return WRPERR_VECTOR_INVALID_OBJECT_TYPE. Object properties can still be inspected and changed by using LVectorObject::GetObjectAttributes and LVectorObject::SetObjectAttributes.

Example

This example will add a new green bezier curve to the Active Layer LVectorBase object

Once added, the color will be changed to blue
