LAnnTextPointer::GetTextPointerFixed

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LAnnTextPointer::GetTextPointerFixed(pbPointerFixed)

L_BOOL *pbPointerFixed;

/* pointer to a variable to be updated */

Gets a value that indicates whether the pointer of an LAnnTextPointer object is fixed.

Parameter	Description
pbPointerFixed	Pointer to a variable to be updated with a value that specifies whether the pointer of an LAnnTextPointer is fixed. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	The pointer of the LAnnTextPointer object is fixed.
	FALSE	The pointer of the LAnnTextPointer moves with the object.

Returns

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

Comments

If pbPointerFixed is updated with TRUE, the text pointer of the object is fixed. When the text pointer is fixed, the location that the text pointer points to does not change when moving the object (either programatically or through automation).

If pbPointerFixed is updated with FALSE, the text pointer of the object is not fixed. This means that when the object is moved, the location the text pointer points to moves along with the object.
