LAnnText::AddUserHandle

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LAnnText::AddUserHandle(pAnnHandle)

Adds a user-defined handle to an annotation object, where pAnnHandle is a pointer to the structure defining an annotation handle.

Parameters

pANNHANDLE pAnnHandle

Pointer to a structure that defines the user handle.

Returns

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

Comments

Before calling this function, you must create the LAnnText object.

Call this function one or more times to add user handles to an existing annotation object.

The user handle location can be defined using container coordinates or client coordinates.

Client coordinates factor in the current zoom factor, and the horizontal and vertical scrolling.

For more information on defining a user handle, refer to ANNHANDLE.
