Property Value

The current AnnObject being edited; null (Nothing in Visual Basic) if no objects are currently being edited.

The current object being edited is the AnnObject currently "selected" where its AnnEditDesigner is currently active.

This is the object that will be processed when calling any of the object processing methods of this AnnAutomation. For example, calling Copy will copy the CurrentEditObject into the clipboard.

You can change the CurrentEditObject by calling StartEditing.

This example changes the pen of the object that is currently being edited to a Red pen that has a width of 2 pixels.
