LAnnotation::SetRestrictToContainer

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LAnnotation::SetRestrictToContainer(bRestrict, uFlags)

L_BOOL bRestrict;	/* flag that specifies whether to restrict the object to the container */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* flags that determine which objects to process */

Restricts one or more annotation objects to a container.

Parameter	Description
bRestrict	Boolean value that specifies whether to restrict the object to the container. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Restrict the object to the container.
	FALSE	Do not restrict the object to the container.
uFlags	Flags that determine which objects to process. Most of the flags apply only to container objects. You can combine values when appropriate by using a bitwise OR ( \| ). The following are valid values:
	Value	Meaning
	0	Process only the specified object.
	ANNFLAG_SELECTED	[0x0001] Process only objects that have the selected property set to TRUE. For getting and setting the selected property, use the LAnnotation::IsSelected and LAnnotation::SetSelected functions.
	ANNFLAG_NOTTHIS	[0x0004] Process only one level of objects within the specified container, not the container itself. If there are containers within the container, they are modified, but the objects within them are not.
	ANNFLAG_RECURSE	[0x0008] Process objects within a container, and within any subcontainers, down to any level.
	ANNFLAG_NOTCONTAINER	[0x0002] (Used with ANNFLAG_RECURSE) Process objects within containers, not the containers themselves.
	ANNFLAG_NOINVALIDATE	[0x0010] Do not invalidate the affected rectangle in the window. Use this to avoid generating unwanted paint messages.
	ANNFLAG_CHECKMENU	[0x0020] Process objects only if the ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_UNGROUP menu item has been selected.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

If an object is restricted to the container, then no part of that object can be moved outside of the container using automation.

All annotation objects support restriction.

Example

// This example toggles the "restrict to container" property of the annotation to the container

// If an object is restricted to the container, no part of it can be moved outside the container.
