L_TCHAR * pText

Character string to be updated with the annotation object's character string.

L_SIZE_T *puLen

Pointer to a variable to updated with the text length.

Returns

Value	Meaning
SUCCESS	The function was successful.

Comments

Before calling this function, you must declare a variable as a pointer to a character string. Then, pass the variable in the pText parameter. This function will update the variable with the annotation object's character string.

The LAnnNote class gets and sets text without formatting. Use the LAnnRTF class to use formatted text.

L_INT LAnnNote_GetTextExample(LAnnNote  * pAnnObject) 
{ 
   L_INT nRet; 
   L_TCHAR  *pText; /* The object's text */ 
   L_SIZE_T TextLength; /* Length of the object's text */ 
   LBuffer LeadBuffer ; 
 
   /* Get the length of the current text */ 
   TextLength = pAnnObject->GetTextLen(); 
   /* Add six characters to the length for our new text */ 
   TextLength += 6; 
 
   LeadBuffer.Reallocate((DWORD)TextLength*sizeof(L_TCHAR)); 
 
   pText = (L_TCHAR  *)LeadBuffer.Lock() ; 
 
   /* Get the current text */ 
   nRet = pAnnObject->GetText(pText,&TextLength); 
   if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
   /* Add " - New" to the end of the current text */
