Description
Gets the fixed attribute of an existing element. Fixed controls if the annotation is locked to the ImagXpress control instead of the image.

Public Function ElementGetFixed( _ ByVal elementHandle As Long _ ) As Boolean |
Parameters
- elementHandle
- The handle of an element returned by the ElementCreate method.
Return Type
If the element is fixed to the control window.
Remarks
A fixed annotation element has a fixed position with respect to the control window, regardless of the position of the image within the window. This is useful when viewing medical images to ensure that annotations such as patient information are stationary in the view window when the image is moved.
Note: When a fixed annotation is created outside of the current view, the user will never be able to see it. If the scrollbars are on when the fixed annotation is created, factor in the position to be able to get back to the fixed annotation in the view.
