Comments

(Document/Medical) Before calling this function, you must declare a variable of data type HANNOBJECT. Then, pass the address of the variable in the phObject parameter. This function will update the variable with the handle of the new annotation object.

You must use the L_AnnSet... functions to initialize the object after it is created.

You should not call this function during processing of WM_LTANNEVENT if wParam equals LTANNEVENT_REMOVE or LTANNEVENT_INSERT, or during the ANNENUMCALLBACK callback function
