Note: This topic is for Document/Medical only. The text annotation object (AnnTextObject) is a rectangle containing a character string with font properties. The text will wrap on word breaks within the object's specified rectangle. With the automated functions, the user clicks and drags to specify the rectangle in the current window. A dialog box then lets the user enter the text. Programmatically, the boundaries and location of the text object can be controlled using the following properties:

• Left
• Top
• Width
• Height
• Origin

The AnnTextObject class inherits a number of properties from the AnnObjectBase class that provide support for font, stroke and fill characteristics. These properties are listed below:

• Fill
• Stroke
• StrokeDashArray
• StrokeDashCap
• StrokeDashOffset
• StrokeEndLineCap
• StrokeLineJoin
• StrokeMiterLimit
• StrokeStartLineCap
• StrokeThickness
• FontDecorations
• FontFamily
• FontSize
• FontStretch
• FontStyle
• FontWeight
• SupportsFill
• SupportsFont
• SupportsStroke

The AnnTextObject class implements the IAnnTextObject interface which provides properties that support text alignment, margins, etc. These properties are listed below:

• TextHorizontalAlignment
• EdgeMargin
• TextVerticalAlignment
• Text
• IsTextImplemented
• TextBrush
• TextRotate

The name of the text object can be controlled using the following properties, inherited from the AnnObjectBase class:

• Header
• HeaderBackground
• HeaderDecorations
• HeaderFontFamily
• HeaderFontSize
• HeaderFontStretch
• HeaderFontStyle
• HeaderFontWeight
• HeaderForeground
• HeaderOffset
• IsHeaderRestricted
• IsHeaderVisible

The following properties may be used in transforming a text annotation object:

• RenderTransform
• TransformObjectMode

An object can be part of a group annotation object or part of a container object. It cannot be part of both a group and a container at the same time. The Container property and the Group property, both inherited from the AnnObjectBase class, contain information on the container or the group to which the object belongs. The following properties can also be used to programmatically set characteristics of an AnnTextObject class object:

• Hyperlink
• IsLocked
• Password
• SerializePassword
• Visiblility
