Example

This example adds " - New" to the current "&Undo" menu item.

L_INT LAnnAutomation_GetAutoTextExample(LAnnAutomation  * pAnnAutomation) 
{ 
   L_INT nRet; 
   L_TCHAR  * pText; /* The object's text */ 
   HGLOBAL hText; /* Handle for memory management */ 
   L_SIZE_T TextLength; /* Length of the object's text */ 
   /* Get the length of the current text */ 
   TextLength = pAnnAutomation->GetAutoTextLen(ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_UNDO); 
   /* Add six characters to the length for our new text  */ 
   TextLength +=6; 
   /* Allocate and lock a zero-filled buffer for the text */ 
   hText = GlobalAlloc(GPTR,TextLength*sizeof(L_TCHAR) ); 
   pText = (L_TCHAR  *)GlobalLock( hText ); 
   /* Get the current text */ 
   nRet = pAnnAutomation->GetAutoText(ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_UNDO, pText,&TextLength); 
   if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
   /* Add " - New" to the end of the current text */ 
   lstrcat(pText,TEXT(" - New")); 
   nRet = pAnnAutomation->SetAutoText(ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_UNDO, pText); 
   if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
   /* Free memory that we no longer need */ 
   GlobalFree(hText); 
   return SUCCESS; 
}
