Comments

This function gets a value that indicates whether the text tokens will be expanded for certain annotation objects that display text. The function is valid only for the following annotation objects:

Calling this function on an object other than one listed above will return ERROR_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED.

If pbTextExpandTokens is updated with TRUE, then all tokens will be expanded.

For example, if you have an ANNOBJECT_BUTTON object that will expand text tokens, and #D is defined to be the current day of the week (ANNTOKEN_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.
