You can only attach one ART component. ArtX Component cannot be attached when ART is already attached.

Using the ArtX Component, you can annotate any image that your application loads into ImageGear. The annotations are called "ArtX marks", or "marks" for short. Every ArtX mark is represented by its own object, but the actual life of a mark starts when they are added into the HIG_ARTX_PAGE object.

Art internally tracks the marks that are associated with the image and ensures that marks are always displayed on the correct part of the image (even as the image is scrolled, rotated, flipped, and zoomed). Your application can save an image with the marks into a separate file in legacy .ART file format or .XML file format. Any time the image is reloaded, the ArtX marks can be reloaded with a simple function call.

The ImageGear ArtX Component consists of the mark objects as well as the objects for handling these marks.
