Comments

You can use this function to see if a container is empty.

Before calling LAnnContainer::GetItem(phItem), you must declare a variable of data type HANNOBJECT. Then, pass the address of the variable in the phItem parameter. This function will update the variable with the handle of the first object in the container.

You can attach phItem to an LAnnotation class object and call LAnnotation::GetType to determine the annotation object type.

When using LAnnContainer::GetItem(), you can call LAnnotation::GetType to determine the annotation object type of the returned object.
