Public Sub AnnAutomation_ChangePenToBlue(ByVal automation As AnnAutomation)
   ' check if an object is currently "selected"
   If Not automation.CurrentEditObject Is Nothing Then
      ' check if this object supports a pen
      If automation.CurrentEditObject.SupportsPen Then
         ' change its pen
         automation.BeginUndo()
         automation.CurrentEditObject.Pen = New AnnPen(Color.Blue, New AnnLength(2, AnnUnit.Pixel))
         automation.EndUndo()
         automation.Viewer.Invalidate(automation.CurrentEditObject.InvalidRectangle)
      End If
   End If
End Sub
C#Copy Code
public void AnnAutomation_ChangePenToBlue(AnnAutomation automation)
{
   // check if an object is currently "selected"
   if (automation.CurrentEditObject != null)
   {
      // check if this object supports a pen
      if (automation.CurrentEditObject.SupportsPen)
      {
         // change its pen
         automation.BeginUndo();
         automation.CurrentEditObject.Pen = new AnnPen(Color.Blue, new AnnLength(2, AnnUnit.Pixel));
         automation.EndUndo();
         automation.Viewer.Invalidate(automation.CurrentEditObject.InvalidRectangle);
      }
   }
}

Remarks

(Read only) The current object being edited is the AnnObject currently "selected" where its AnnEditDesigner is currently active.

This is the object that will be processed when calling any of the object processing methods of this AnnAutomation. For example, calling Copy will copy the CurrentEditObject into the clipboard.

You can change the CurrentEditObject by calling StartEditing.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows Vista, Windows 7
