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 LAnnotation::IsSelected and LAnnotation::SetSelected 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_METAFILE menu item has been selected.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Only stamp objects, hotspot objects, and freehand hotspot objects can have metafiles. Note that for stamps, setting the metafile destroys the stamp objects bitmap and text. Also, setting a bitmap or text destroys the metafile associated with the stamp object. (The stamp object can have Text, Bitmap or Metafile and each of these cancels the other two).

If uType == ANNMETAFILE_USER, then hMetafile is the metafile handle. You can use any of the windows functions to create a metafile.

If uType is one of the ANNMETAFILE_XXX values, then hMetafile is ignored and the default metafiles are used instead. The annotation DLL has 25 predefined metafiles. You can change the predefined metafiles by using LAnnotation::SetPredefinedMetafile.
