L_LTANN_API L_INT L_AnnGetBitmap(hObject, pBitmap, uStructSize)

HANNOBJECT hObject;	/* handle to the annotation object */
pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* address of the variable to be updated */
L_UINT uStructSize;	/* size in bytes, of the structure pointed to by pBitmap */

Gets the bitmap handle of the specified annotation object.

Parameter	Description
hObject	Handle to the annotation object.
pBitmap	Address of the variable to be updated with the handle to the annotation object's bitmap.
uStructSize	Size in bytes, of the structure pointed to by pBitmap, for versioning. Use sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE).

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The L_AnnGetBitmap function is valid only for the following object types:

ANNOBJECT_POINT
ANNOBJECT_PUSHPIN
ANNOBJECT_STAMP

Only the Stamp object uses this property. The specified bitmap is a LEAD bitmap. For a description of the Stamp object, refer to Stamp Annotation Object.

Before calling this function, you must declare a variable of data type BITMAPHANDLE. Then, pass the address of the variable in the pBitmap parameter. This function will update the variable with the handle to the annotation object's bitmap.

The ANNOBJECT_STAMP objects (which include the Rubber Stamp tools which are available in Automation) can display text, a bitmap or a metafile. Only one of these three can be displayed at any timesetting the object to one of these destroys any settings for the other two.

Initially, the ANNOBJECT_STAMP object displays text. The difference between the Stamp and the Rubber Stamp is that initially whereas the Stamp does not display an image, the Rubber Stamp tools are set to display different metafiles (one for each rubber stamp selection).

Call the L_AnnGetPredefinedBitmap function to retrieve the bitmap displayed by the ANNOBJECT_POINT object, and the L_AnnSetPredefinedBitmap function to set the bitmap displayed by the ANNOBJECT_POINT object.

Call the L_AnnSetBitmap function to set the bitmap for one or more annotation objects.

For descriptions of the various types of objects and their properties, refer to Types of Annotations.

Example

Create a stamp object using the example for L_AnnSetBitmap, then call this function to retrieve the bitmap from the global stamp object and assign it to a local stamp object.
