Public Overridable Property Group As AnnGroupObject

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As AnnObject Dim value As AnnGroupObject   instance.Group = value   value = instance.Group

public virtual AnnGroupObject Group {get; set;}

public:
virtual property AnnGroupObject^ Group {
   AnnGroupObject^ get();
   void set (AnnGroupObject^ value);
}

Return Value

This example creates a line, adds it to a group then adds the group to a container while checking the AnnObject.Container and Group property of the object.

Visual Basic

Copy Code

Public Sub AnnObject_Group()    ' add an object to the first container    Dim line As AnnLineObject = New AnnLineObject()    line.Name = "Line1"    ShowGroupAndContainer(line)    ' add it to a group    Dim group As AnnGroupObject = New AnnGroupObject()    group.Name = "Group1"    group.Objects.Add(line)    ShowGroupAndContainer(line)    ' add the group to a container    Dim container As AnnContainer = New AnnContainer()    container.Name = "Container1"    container.Objects.Add(group)    ShowGroupAndContainer(line) End Sub Private Sub ShowGroupAndContainer(ByVal obj As AnnObject)    Console.Write("Container: ")    If Not obj.Container Is Nothing Then       Console.Write(obj.Container.Name)    Else       Console.Write("none")    End If    Console.Write(", Group: ")    If Not obj.Group Is Nothing Then       Console.Write(obj.Group.Name)    Else       Console.Write("none")    End If    Console.WriteLine() End Sub

An AnnObject can be part of one AnnGroupObject only at any given time.

When adding or removing objects to or from a group, you do not need to manually set this property to the container value: this operation is performed internally by the LEADTOOLS annotation toolkit. However, you can check the value of this property to determine the group (if any) to which a certain object currently belongs.
