Creating a Mark via Function Calls
| ImageGear Professional v18.2 > User Guide > Using ImageGear > Using ImageGear ART Component > Creating, Saving, Loading, Modifying and Deleting ART Marks > Creating a Mark via Function Calls |
Some applications won't use the ART ToolBar, or will provide the ToolBar and other options, for creating marks. In that case, some function in your application will need to create the marks directly: to do that, your application will call MarkCreate Method. The way that MarkCreate Method works is that you specify the type of the desired mark in the parameter on the subroutine call. All of the characteristics of the mark (size, position, text contained within it, etc.) are specified via a set of properties named GlobalAttrxxx. Your application must set these properties before calling MarkCreate Method. For example, to add a Typed Text annotation programmatically:

|---|---|
Dim lMark As Long
artPage.GlobalAttrBounds.Left = 10 'set the bounding
rectangle
artPage.GlobalAttrBounds.Top = 10
artPage.GlobalAttrBounds.Right = 100
artPage.GlobalAttrBounds.Bottom = 20
artPage.GlobalAttrText = "my text mark" 'set the text
lMark = artPage.MarkCreate(markTypedText) 'create it
artPage.MarkPaint lMark 'paint (draw) the
mark
