Comments

This function causes a text-based annotation to enter edit mode, which displays an edit window for direct entry of text. Calling this function allows a user to programmatically force an object into edit mode - an action that is normally available in automation mode when creating or double-clicking text-based annotations.

It can be used with any of the text-based annotation classes including:

A successful call to LAnnXXX::SetText affects the class object in the following way:

Only one object can be in text edit mode. Therefore, if another text object is in text edit mode, calling LAnnotation::TextEdit(), will get the other class object out of the text edit mode, and put the class object into the text edit mode.

This function will fail with ERROR_AUTOMATION_INV_HANDLE if the class object is not contained in the root container and if it is not in the automated mode.

This function works only with the following objects:

If you pass an object that is not one of these types, the function will return ERROR_INV_PARAMETER.

L_INT LAnnotation_TextEditExample(LAnnText anntext)

   // hObject go into edit mode

         pszError = TEXT("TextEdit failed because you are not in automated mode"); 
         break; 
 
      case ERROR_INV_PARAMETER: 
 
         pszError = TEXT("AnnTextEdit failed because hObject was not text based"); 
         break; 
 
      default:
