GetAnnotationFromIdx Method (AnnotationManager)

In This Topic

Syntax
Remarks
Example

Returns a required GdPicture/XMP annotation object specified by its index related to the selected page of the document currently handled by this AnnotationManager object.

Be aware that this method only handles GdPicture/XMP annotations. Likewise, annotations are always treated relative to the selected page.

Syntax

public Annotation GetAnnotationFromIdx( 
   int AnnotationIdx
)

public function GetAnnotationFromIdx( 
    AnnotationIdx: Integer
): Annotation;

public function GetAnnotationFromIdx( 
   AnnotationIdx : int
) : Annotation;

public: Annotation* GetAnnotationFromIdx( 
   int AnnotationIdx
)

public:
Annotation^ GetAnnotationFromIdx( 
   int AnnotationIdx
)

'Declaration
 
Public Function GetAnnotationFromIdx( _
   ByVal AnnotationIdx As Integer _
) As Annotation

Parameters

AnnotationIdx: The 0-based index of the required annotation within the selected page of the handled document. It must be a value from 0 to AnnotationManager.GetAnnotationCount-1.

Return Value

The required GdPicture/XMP annotation object of the type GdPicture14.Annotations.Annotation. The AnnotationManager.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks

It is recommend to use the AnnotationManager.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Please ensure that you have selected the proper page before starting any annotation related action with the handled document. Annotations are always treated relative to the currently selected page.
