CurrentEditObject Property

Summary

Gets the current AnnObject being edited.

Syntax

C++

public virtual AnnObject CurrentEditObject { get; }

  
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property CurrentEditObject As Leadtools.Annotations.AnnObject

public: 
virtual property Leadtools.Annotations.AnnObject^ CurrentEditObject { 
   Leadtools.Annotations.AnnObject^ get(); 
}

Property Value

The current AnnObject being edited; null (Nothing in VB) if no objects are currently being edited.

Remarks

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.

Example

This example changes the pen of the object that is currently being edited to a Red pen that has a width of 2 pixels.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Annotations; 
using Leadtools.WinForms; 
using Leadtools.Drawing; 
 
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); 
      } 
   } 
}
