AnnSetMetafile method (Main Control)

Visual Basic example
Visual C++ 4.0 example

Syntax short AnnSetMetafile(OLE_HANDLE hObject, OLE_HANDLE hMetafile, short nType, BOOL bSelected);

Overview: Refer to Implementing Annotations.

Remarks

(Document/Medical only) Sets the metafile for a stamp object.

Only stamp objects, hotspot objects, and freehand hotspot objects can have metafiles. Note that for stamps, setting the metafile destroys the stamp object’s 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 nType == ANNMETAFILE_USER, then hMetafile is the metafile handle. Any of the windows functions may be used to create a metafile.

If nType 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. Change the predefined metafiles by using AnnSetPredefinedMetafile method.
