typedef struct tagANNTEXTTOKEN 
{ 
   L_UINT uStructSize; // sizeof this structure

The ANNTEXTTOKEN structure contains information about the tokens for an annotation object.

Members

uStructSize

Size of this structure. Use sizeof(ANNTEXTTOKEN)

cToken

Character representing the token. This can be ANY ascii character EXCEPT #, because the token ## is reserved to display the # character.

pszDesc

Pointer to a text string that describes the token. This string appears on the text token table menu. For example, the string for token #0 in the default text token table is "Two Digit Month". The text token table menu is displayed by:

Right-clicking on a Button, Note, PushPin, Rubber Stamp, Stamp, Text, or Text Pointer annotation object.
Select Text option in menu that appears.
Click the Insert Token button. A menu for the existing text token table appears, as shown in the following figure:

Select the token to be inserted.

pszTokenString

This member is used only if nTokenType is ANNTOKEN_TEXT. If nTokenType is not ANNTOKEN_TEXT, then pszTokenString is ignored. The pszTokenString can be any combination of existing token strings, or any new string.

nTokenType

Identifies the type of token. Must be one of the constants in the following:

Token	Description
ANNTOKEN_NONE	[0] String not treated as a token
ANNTOKEN_SEPARATOR	[1] Add a separator to the automation token menu
ANNTOKEN_TEXT	[2] A text string
ANNTOKEN_DATE_YYYY	[3] Current four digit year
ANNTOKEN_DATE_YY	[4] Current two digit year
ANNTOKEN_DATE_MM	[5] Two digit representation of current month
ANNTOKEN_DATE_DD	[6] Two digit representation of current day
ANNTOKEN_DATE_MONTH_NAME	[7] Current month name (i.e. January)
ANNTOKEN_DATE_DAY_OF_WEEK	[8] Current day of week (i.e. Monday)
ANNTOKEN_TIME_HH_12	[9] Current hour,using a 12 hour clock
ANNTOKEN_TIME_HH_24	[10] Current hour, using a 24 hour clock
ANNTOKEN_TIME_MM	[11] Current minute (00-59)
ANNTOKEN_TIME_SS	[12] Current second (00-59)
ANNTOKEN_TIME_MILLISECONDS	[13] Current milliseconds (000-999)
ANNTOKEN_AM_PM	[14] Time of day indicator (AM or PM)
