Comments

This function gets the automation cursor behavior when clicking outside the container. It has no effect on the behavior of the cursor when clicking inside the container. When creating annotations using automation in design mode, the user first chooses an annotation tool. Next the user clicks the mouse in the window containing the image, either on or outside the container (annotation image).

If cursor snapping is enabled and the user clicks outside the container as shown in the figure

If cursor snapping is disabled and the user clicks outside the container but in the window, drawing of the annotation object begins with the annotation object outside of the container.

The default for behavior is to have cursor snapping enabled.
