AddConnectedLinesAnnotInteractive Method (GdViewer)
In This Topic
Allows users to interactively add a new connected lines annotation using the mouse on the current page of the document displayed in the GdViewer control. The annotation object is added following all the parameters you have specified and respecting the dimensions users will define using the mouse as well.
A connected lines annotation depicts a polyline consisting of several straight lines. This method uses the round cap style on both polyline ending points. Users end every individual line with a single click, and they finish the annotation with a double-click.
The type of the newly added annotation object is GdPictureAnnotationType.AnnotationTypeConnectedLines. You can change the annotation properties directly using the GdPicture14.Annotations.AnnotationConnectedLines class before or after the successful creation of the annotation object. Please refer to both the BeforeAnnotationAddedByUser and the AnnotationAddedByUser events for how to achieve this.
Be aware that the editing mode for annotations must be enabled using the SetAnnotationEditorMode method, otherwise this method will fail.
