Comments
To use this function:
1. |
Call this function passing pText as NULL to obtain the text length in the puLen parameter. |
2. |
Allocate a buffer of size (*puLen + 1). |
3. |
Call this function with passing the allocated buffer to the pText parameter to obtain the text. |
Use L_AnnSetAutoText to modify the automated menu item.
Before calling this function, you must declare a variable as a pointer to a character string. Then, pass the variable in the pText parameter. This function will update the variable with the automation item's character string.
