AnnObject Property

Summary

Gets or sets the annotation object being loaded or saved.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public AnnObject AnnObject { get; set; }

@property (nonatomic, strong, nullable) LTAnnObject *annObject;

public AnnObject getAnnObject() 
public void setAnnObject(AnnObject object)

public:  
   property AnnObject^ AnnObject 
   { 
      AnnObject^ get() 
      void set(AnnObject^ value) 
   }

AnnObject # get and set (AnnSerializeObjectEventArgs)

Property Value

The annotation object being loaded or saved.

Remarks

If this object is triggered with the AnnDeserializeOptions.DeserializeObject event, then the value of this property contains null and the object type name being saved is in TypeName. You have the following course of action:

Do nothing. Leave the value of AnnObject as null. This will instruct AnnCodecs to try and create the object from TypeName. If the codecs fails to do that for any reason, the DeserializeObjectError error will occur.
Create the object manually. Set the value of AnnObject to a new instance of the object type in TypeName. The AnnCodecs will use this object instance to load the rest of the properties and add it to the container. This is useful in situations when an object cannot be created by the framework.
Set the value of SkipObject to true. This will instruct AnnCodecs to skip this object and continue to the next. This is useful if in scenarios when you do not want to load certain object types or objects with certain properties.
In any of the scenarios above, you can set the Error property to an error object to stop loading the annotation objects and cause AnnCodecs to throw the error and returns.

If this object is trigged with the AnnDeserializeOptions.DeserializeObjectError event, then the value of this property is null and means AnnCodecs could not create the instance of an object of type TypeName. If it is possible to create AnnObject yourself in this situation, then set its instance into AnnObject to allow the codecs object to continue loading its properties. Another option is to set SkipObject to true to instruct AnnCodecs to ignore the error, skip loading this object and continue to the next.

If this object is trigged with the AnnSerializeOptions.SerializeObject event, then the value of this property is null and is not used.

Example

using Leadtools.Annotations.Automation; 
using Leadtools.Annotations.Engine; 
using Leadtools.Annotations.Rendering; 
 
public void AnnCodecs_AnnSerializeOptions() 
{ 
   // Create a new annotation container, 8.5 by 11 inches 
   AnnContainer container = new AnnContainer(); 
   // Size must be in annotation units (1/720 of an inch) 
   container.Size = LeadSizeD.Create(8.5 * 720, 11 * 720); 
 
   double inch = 720.0; 
   // Add a red line object, from 1in 1in to 2in 2in 
   AnnPolylineObject lineObj = new AnnPolylineObject(); 
   lineObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(1 * inch, 1 * inch)); 
   lineObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(2 * inch, 2 * inch)); 
   lineObj.Stroke = AnnStroke.Create(AnnSolidColorBrush.Create("Red"), LeadLengthD.Create(1)); 
   container.Children.Add(lineObj); 
 
   // Add a blue on yellow rectangle from 3in 3in to 4in 4in 
   AnnRectangleObject rectObj = new AnnRectangleObject(); 
   rectObj.Rect = LeadRectD.Create(3 * inch, 3 * inch, 1 * inch, 1 * inch); 
   rectObj.Stroke = AnnStroke.Create(AnnSolidColorBrush.Create("Blue"), LeadLengthD.Create(1)); 
   rectObj.Fill = AnnSolidColorBrush.Create("Yellow"); 
   container.Children.Add(rectObj); 
 
   // Show the container 
   ShowContainer("Before save", container); 
 
   // Create the codecs object to save and load annotations 
   AnnCodecs codecs = new AnnCodecs(); 
 
   // Create a new instance of AnnSrializeOptions and Hook to the SerializeObject event 
   AnnSerializeOptions serializeOptions = new AnnSerializeOptions(); 
   serializeOptions.SerializeObject += serializeOptions_SerializeObject; 
 
   // Set it as our deserialize options 
   codecs.SerializeOptions = serializeOptions; 
 
   // Save the container 
   string destFileName = @"container.xml"; 
   codecs.Save(destFileName, container, AnnFormat.Annotations, 1); 
 
   // delete the container 
   container = null; 
 
   // Load the container we just saved 
   container = codecs.Load(destFileName, 1); 
 
   // Show it 
   ShowContainer("After load", container); 
} 
 
void serializeOptions_SerializeObject(object sender, AnnSerializeObjectEventArgs e) 
{ 
   AnnObject annObj = e.AnnObject; 
   if (annObj.Id == AnnObject.PolylineObjectId) 
   { 
      Debug.WriteLine("skipping a polyline during save"); 
      e.SkipObject = true; 
   } 
}
