Note: This topic is for Document/Medical only. The pointer annotation object (AnnPointerObject) is defined by two points, with an arrow at the first point. With the automated functions, the user clicks and drags to specify the points in the current window. Programmatically, the boundaries and location of the pointer object can be controlled using the following properties:

• BoundingRectangle
• EndPoint
• InvalidRectangle
• Origin
• StartPoint

The AnnPointerObject class inherits a number of properties from the AnnDrawable class that provide support for font, pen and brush characteristics. These properties are listed below:

• Brush
• Font
• HasBrush
• HasFont
• HasPen
• Pen
• SupportsBrush
• SupportsFont
• SupportsPen

The name of the pointer object can be controlled using the following properties, inherited from the AnnObject class:

• Name
• NameBackColor
• NameFont
• NameForeColor
• NameOffset
• NameRestrict
• NameVisible

The following properties may be used in transforming a pointer annotation object:

• PhysicalTransform
• Transform
• TransformObjectMode

An object can be part of a group annotation object or part of a container object. It cannot be part of both a group and a container at the same time. The Container property and the Group property, both inherited from the AnnObject class, contain information on the container or the group to which the object belongs. The following properties can also be used to programmatically set characteristics of an AnnPointerObject class object:

• HitTestInterior
• Hyperlink
• IsLocked
• Password
• SerializePassword
• TextColor
• UnitConverter
• UserData
• Visible

Note: You can not create a line of two points which they are the same.
