virtual int PushFixedState(); 

Return Value

In some instances, however, it is necessary to display a fixed annotation at a larger or smaller size than its fixed size. For example, when printing a fixed annotation, the annotation may need to be painted larger or smaller than normal. To accommodate, call PushFixedState on the fixed AnnObject before the call to print. After the print, call AnnObject.PopFixedState to restore the fixed state of the annotation object.

Typically, you would call PushFixedState/PopFixedState on the root AnnContainer to temporarily disable the fixed state of ALL AnnObject. Calls to PushFixedState and AnnObject.PopFixedState are maintained internally as a stack. This means that nested calls will behave properly. For Example,

PushFixedState();    // Fixed state is temporarily disabled
PushFixedState();    // Fixed state is temporarily disabled
PopFixedState();     // Fixed state is still disabled
PopFixedState();     // Fixed state is enabled

Note that PushFixedState and PopFixedState should always be called in pairs.

The following annotations cannot be fixed:

• AnnRedactionObject
• AnnEncryptObject

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family
