LAnnotationWindow::AnnSave

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LAnnotationWindow::AnnSave(pszFile, nFormat=ANNFMT_NATIVE, bSelected=FALSE)

L_TCHAR L_FAR * pszFile;	/* the name of the file to save */
L_INT nFormat;	/* format for saving annotation data */
L_BOOL bSelected;	/* flag that indicates which objects to save */

Saves annotations in the specified file. This function is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Parameter	Description
pszFile	Character string containing the name of the file to save.
nFormat	Format for saving annotation data. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	ANNFMT_NATIVE	Use LEAD's own format for annotations.
	ANNFMT_WMF	Use the Windows WMF format.
	ANNFMT_ENCODED	Use the LEAD binary format. This file size is smaller and is upward compatible. It also provides better security.
	ANNFMT_XML	Use the XML format.
bSelected	Flag that indicates which objects to save. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Save all objects that have the selected property set to TRUE. For getting and setting the selected property, use the LAnnContainer::GetSelectItems and LAnnotation::SetSelected functions.
	FALSE	Save only the specified object.

Returns

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

Comments

Save annotations in the WMF format only for use in another application. LEADTOOLS reads annotations only in the native format.

To retain scaling and positioning information, this function always saves the root container, along with the specified object or selected objects. Use the bSelected parameter as follows:

To save only selected objects in the container, set bSelected to TRUE.

To save all objects in the container, set bSelected to FALSE.

For information on saving annotations as a tag in a TIFF file, refer to LAnnContainer::SaveTag.
