L_AnnRestrictCursor

#include "l_bitmap.h"

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

Restricts the mouse cursor in conjunction with annotation objects.

Parameters

HANNOBJECT hContainer

Handle to the container object

LPRECT lpRect

Pointer to a RECT structure that contains the rectangle within which the cursor is restricted .

LPPOINT pPoint

Pointer to a POINT structure that contains the point around which the lpRect rectangle is centered.

LPRECT prcOldClip

Pointer to a RECT structure that contains the previous clip rectangle.

L_BOOL 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

Value Meaning
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.
