L_AnnGetTextPointerFixed

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_AnnGetTextPointerFixed(hObject, pbPointerFixed)

HANNOBJECT hObject;	/* handle to the annotation object */
L_BOOL *pbPointerFixed;	/* pointer to a variable to be updated */

Gets a value that indicates whether the pointer of an ANNOBJECT_TEXTPOINTER object is fixed. This function is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Parameter	Description
hObject	Handle to the annotation object.
pbPointerFixed	Pointer to a variable to be updated with a value that specifies whether the pointer of an ANNOBJECT_TEXTPOINTER is fixed. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	The pointer of the ANNOBJECT_TEXTPOINTER object is fixed.
	FALSE	The pointer of the ANNOBJECT_TEXTPOINTER moves with the object.

Returns

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

Comments

The function is valid only for the ANNOBJECT_TEXTPOINTER annotation object.

If pbPointerFixed is updated with TRUE, the text pointer of the object is fixed. When the text pointer is fixed, the location that the text pointer points to does not change when moving the object (either programatically or through automation).

If pbPointerFixed is updated with FALSE, the text pointer of the object is not fixed. This means that when the object is moved, the location the text pointer points to moves along with the object.

Calling this function on an object other the ANNOBJECT_TEXTPOINTER will return ERROR_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED.
