puLen	Pointer to a variable to updated with the text length.

Comments

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 annotation object's character string.

The LAnnStamp class gets and sets text without formatting. Use the LAnnRTF class to use formatted text.
