uEnable

Flag that indicates whether to enable or disable the specified item. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

ANNMENU_ENABLED

Enable the menu item.

 

ANNMENU_DISABLED

Disable the menu item.

 

ANNMENU_DEFAULT

Enable or disable the menu item, based on the setting for the object type.

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_USER

[0x0040] Process only those objects that have a user included in pUserList. If pUserList is NULL, process only those objects that do not have an associated user.

pUserList

Character string that contains the list of users associated with the specified object. pUserList has the form "User1,User2,,UserN". This must be a NULL terminated string with user names separated by a comma. This parameter is valid only if ANNFLAG_USER is set in uFlags.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

By default, all automation menu items that are not NULL are displayed.

If an automation menu item is NULL, that menu item will not be displayed, even if the menu item has been enabled using this function.

The menu item strings are changed using the LAnnAutomation::SetAutoText function.

Menu items can be enabled or disabled for one or more than one object, depending on the object. The following table indicates the possible options:
