Syntax	VARIANT_BOOL AnnTextExpandTokens (long hObject);
Overview	Refer to Implementing Annotations.

Remarks

Indicates whether the annotation object's text tokens will expand. Possible values are:

Setting	Description
VARIANT_TRUE	Text tokens will be expanded for this object.

This property is valid only for the following annotation objects:

$image\sqrblit.gif$ ANN_OBJECT_TEXT

Getting or setting this property for an annotation object other than ones listed above will set an error in the AnnError property.

If this property is VARIANT_TRUE, then all tokens will be expanded.

For example, if you have an ANN_OBJECT_BUTTON object that will expand text tokens, and #D is defined to be the current day of the week (ANN_TOKEN_DATE_DAY_OF_WEEK), then entering #D for the text of this button will cause it to display the current day of the week when in design or run mode.

ANN_FLAG_SELECTED

ANN_FLAG_NOTTHIS

ANN_FLAG_RECURSE
