Pointer Annotation Object

Note: This topic is for Document/Medical only.

The pointer annotation object (ANNOBJECT_POINTER) is defined by two points, with an arrow at the first point. With the automated functions, the user clicks and drags to specify the points in the current window.

With low-level functions, you must provide the points that define the points of the object. Other applicable properties have the following defaults, which you can change:

Visible

Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the AnnSetVisible method.

Selected

Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the AnnSetSelected method.

Foreground color

Defaults to black. It can be changed using the AnnSetForeColor method.

Line width

Defaults to 1. It can be changed using the AnnSetLineWidth method. (Values equate to a minimum of 1 pixel when displayed.)

Line style

Defaults to solid. It can be changed using the AnnSetLineStyle method.

Tag (identifier)

Defaults to 0. It can be changed using the AnnSetTag method.

Window handle

Defaults to NULL or the handle inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the AnnSetWnd method.

User mode

Defaults to design mode or the mode inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the AnnUserMode property.
