HIGEAR hIGear; /* HIGEAR handle of */ 
/* image   */
ART_MARK_ATTRIBUTES ma; /* Structure for   */ 
/* mark attributes   */
memset(&ma, 0, sizeof(ART_MARK_ATTRIBUTES));
ma.dwType = ART_MARK_ATTACH_A_NOTE; 
/* set the type of   */
/* mark    */
ma.rgbColor1.rgbRed   = 0xFF;/* set the red component  */
/* of the note's color  */
ma.bVisible = TRUE;  /* ensure that the mark  */ 
/* will be visible (shown)*/
ART_GUI_tool_set(hIGear, &ma);

Remarks:

If lpMarkAttr is set to NULL, no mark is created; instead, the selection pointer is enabled. This function is called when a toolbar button is pressed.

An error is set if any of the following conditions are met:

hIGear does not reference a valid ImageGear handle.
nMarkType is not a valid mark type.
