UnitAbbreviation Property (IAnnRulerObject)

Gets or sets a string value that specifies the abbreviation that corresponds to the MeasurementUnit property value.

Syntax

string UnitAbbreviation {get; set;}

'Declaration
 
Property UnitAbbreviation As String

'Usage
 
Dim instance As IAnnRulerObject
Dim value As String
 
instance.UnitAbbreviation = value
 
value = instance.UnitAbbreviation

property String^ UnitAbbreviation {
   String^ get();
   void set (    String^ value);
}

A string value that specifies the abbreviation that corresponds to the MeasurementUnit property value.

Remarks

The UnitAbbreviation member resets to the appropriate value whenever the MeasurementUnit property changes. To use a custom abbreviation, set the value of this property after setting the MeasurementUnit property. To get the default abbreviation string, call the AnnUnitConverter.GetUnitAbbreviation method. This property is used only if the ShowLength property is true.
