Button Annotation Object

Note: This topic is for Document/Medical only.

The button annotation object (ANNOBJECT_BUTTON) is an image of a standard Windows button that can be activated. With the automated functions, the user clicks and drags to specify the rectangle in the current window. A dialog box then lets the user enter the text for the button. In run mode, clicking on the button triggers an AnnClicked event.

You cannot flip, reverse, or rotate a button. If you flip, reverse, or rotate a container that includes a button, the button will move to the new position, but will retain its orientation.

With low-level functions, you must specify the defining rectangle. Other applicable properties have the following defaults, which you can change:

Visible	Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the AnnSetVisible method.
Selected	Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the AnnSetSelected method.
Text	Defaults to an empty string. It can be changed using the AnnSetText method.
Foreground color	Defaults to black. It can be changed using the AnnSetForeColor method.
Tag (identifier)	Defaults to 0. It can be changed using the AnnSetTag method.
Window handle	Defaults to NULL or the handle inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the AnnSetWnd method.
User mode	Defaults to design mode or the mode inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the AnnUserMode property.
