L_LTANN_API L_INT L_AnnSetShowFlags(hObject, uShowFlags, uFlags)

HANNOBJECT hObject;	/* handle to the annotation object */
L_UINT uShowFlags;	/* flag that indicates how to display the rulers */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* flags that determine which objects to process */

Determines how the rulers will be displayed.

Parameter	Description
hObject	Handle to the annotation object.
uShowFlags	Flag that indicates how to display the rulers. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	0	Do not display the ruler length or the ruler gauge or the tic marks. In this case, the ruler looks like a line.
	ANNSHOW_LENGTH	Display the ruler length.
	ANNSHOW_GAUGE	Display the ruler gauge.
	ANNSHOW_TICMARKS	Display the tic marks.
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 L_AnnGetSelected and L_AnnSetSelected 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_SHOWRULER menu item has been selected.

Returns

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

Comments

This function is valid for the following objects:

ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT

ANNOBJECT_POLYRULER

ANNOBJECT_PROTRACTOR

ANNOBJECT_RULER

In addition, the Automation object stores the show flag settings along with the other object default settings.

For Protractor objects, the default value for uShowFlags is 0. For the Ruler, PolyRuler, and Cross-Product objects the default value for uShowFlags is ANNSHOW_LENGTH | ANNSHOW_TICMARKS.
