Highlight Annotation Object

Note:

This topic is for Document/Medical only.

The highlight annotation object (ANNOBJECT_HILITE) is a rectangle with default properties that are appropriate for highlighting an area. With the automated functions, the user clicks and drags to specify the rectangle in the current window.

With low-level functions, you must specify the defining rectangle. Other applicable properties have the following defaults, which you can change:

Name	Defaults to empty string. It can be changed using the AnnSetNameOptions method.
Background color	Defaults to Yellow - RGB(255, 255, 0). It can be changed using the AnnSetBackColor method.
Fixed State	Defaults to not fixed. It can be changed using the AnnFixed property.
Hyperlink	Defaults to None. It can be changed using the AnnSetHyperlinkString method.
Visible	Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the AnnSetVisible method.
Selected	Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the AnnSetSelected method.
Tag (identifier)	Defaults to 0. It can be changed using the AnnSetTag method.
Window handle	Defaults to NULL or the handle inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the AnnSetWnd method.
User mode	Defaults to design mode or the mode inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the AnnUserMode property.
