Example

This example copies an object and moves the copy so that it can be seen.

 L_INT AnnCopyExample(HANNOBJECT   hContainer,
                                    HANNOBJECT   hAnnObject)
{
   L_INT nRet;
   HANNOBJECT  NewObject;     /* New object created by copying */
   ANNRECT     ContainerRect; /* Rectangle for positioning the new object */

   /* Copy the incoming object and insert it into the container */
   nRet = L_AnnCopy(hAnnObject, &NewObject);
   if(nRet != SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   nRet = L_AnnInsert(hContainer, NewObject, FALSE);
   if(nRet != SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   /* Move the new object down and to the right */
   nRet = L_AnnGetRect(hContainer, &ContainerRect, NULL);
   if(nRet != SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   nRet = L_AnnMove(NewObject,
             (ContainerRect.right - ContainerRect.left) / 20,
             (ContainerRect.bottom - ContainerRect.top) / 20,
             0); 
   if(nRet != SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   return SUCCESS;
