Container Property (AnnObject)

C#
Visual Basic
Objective-C
Java
C++

public virtual AnnContainer Container {get; set;}

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property Container As AnnContainer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As AnnObject
Dim value As AnnContainer
 
instance.Container = value
 
value = instance.Container

public:
virtual property AnnContainer^ Container {
   AnnContainer^ get();
   void set (    AnnContainer^ value);
}

Property Value

The AnnContainer that contains this AnnObject.

An AnnObject can be part of one AnnContainer only at any given time.

When adding or removing objects to or from a container, you do not need to manually set this property to the container value: this operation is performed internally by the LEADTOOLS annotation toolkit. However, you can check the value of this property to determine the container to which a certain object currently belongs.

This example creates two containers, adds an object to the first container then moves it to the second while checking the Container property of the object.
