L_AnnGetObjectFromTag

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTANN_API L_INT L_AnnGetObjectFromTag(hContainer, uFlags, uTag, phTagObject)

Retrieves a handle to the object that has the specified tag.

Parameters

HANNOBJECT hContainer

Handle to the container object.

L_UINT uFlags

Flags that determine which objects to process. Most of the flags apply only to container objects. You can combine values when appropriate by using a bitwise OR (|). The following are valid values:

Value	Meaning
0	Process only the specified object.
ANNFLAG_SELECTED	[0x0001] Process only objects that have the selected property set to TRUE. For getting and setting the selected property, use the L_AnnGetSelected and L_AnnSetSelected functions.
ANNFLAG_NOTTHIS	[0x0004] Process only one level of objects within the specified container, not the container itself. If there are containers within the container, they are modified, but the objects within them are not.
ANNFLAG_RECURSE	[0x0008] Process objects within a container, and within any subcontainers, down to any level.
ANNFLAG_NOTCONTAINER	[0x0002] (Used with ANNFLAG_RECURSE) Process objects within containers, not the containers themselves.
ANNFLAG_NOINVALIDATE	[0x0010] Do not invalidate the affected rectangle in the window. Use this to avoid generating unwanted paint messages.

L_UINT32 uTag

The unsigned 32-bit integer used as the object's tag.

pHANNOBJECT phTagObject

Address of a variable to be updated with the handle to the annotation object that has the tag specified in uTag. If an object with the specified tag is not found, the variable will be updated with NULL.

Returns

Value	Meaning
SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

For more information on getting and setting tags, refer to L_AnnGetTag and L_AnnSetTag.

This function applies to multiple and selected objects based on values of the uFlags parameter.
