Using Non automated Annotations in Run Mode:

Take the following steps to add code to the existing project that will let you create an audio annotation and a button annotation, set the user mode through a menu, and activate the annotations by left clicking on the annotation.

 #include "Color.h"

BEGIN
    POPUP "User Mode"

        MENUITEM "Run", IDM_RUN
