L_AnnRestrictCursor

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTANN_API L_INT L_AnnRestrictCursor( hContainer, lpRect, pPoint, prcOldClip, bRestrictClient)

HANNOBJECT hContainer;

handle to the container object

LPRECT lpRect;

pointer to a RECT structure

LPPOINT pPoint;

pointer to a POINT structure

LPRECT prcOldClip;

pointer a RECT structure that contains the previous clip rectangle

L_BOOL bRestrictClient;

flag that specifies whether the cursor is restricted to the client window

Restricts the mouse cursor in conjunction with annotation objects.

Parameter Description
hContainer Handle to the container object
lpRect Pointer to a RECT structure that contains the rectangle within which the cursor is restricted .
pPoint Pointer to a POINT structure that contains the point around which the lpRect rectangle is centered.
prcOldClip Pointer to a RECT structure that contains the previous clip rectangle.
bRestrictClient Flag that specifies whether the cursor is restricted to the client window. Possible values are:
  Value Meaning
  TRUE Restrict the cursor to the client window.
  FALSE Do not restrict the cursor to the client window.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function is used to restrict the mouse cursor. It should be used when creating custom annotation objects.

Calling this function always restricts the mouse cursor to the annotation container. However, depending on the arguments passed, the mouse cursor can be restricted further .

This function can be used in the following ways:

Example

Example for L_AnnConvert, L_AnnRestrictCursor This example restricts the cursor to 10 pixels on either side of the bounding box of the annotation object. For example, if the object is a rectangle, the mouse cursor will be restricted to an area that is 10 pixels larger than the rectangle.
