In This Topic
Returns the subject of a required annotation object specified by its index related to the currently selected page of the loaded PDF document. It is a short text description of the subject being addressed by the specified annotation.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Function GetAnnotationSubject( _
   ByVal AnnotationIdx As Integer _
) As String
public string GetAnnotationSubject( 
   int AnnotationIdx
)
public function GetAnnotationSubject( 
    AnnotationIdx: Integer
): String; 
public function GetAnnotationSubject( 
   AnnotationIdx : int
) : String;
public: string* GetAnnotationSubject( 
   int AnnotationIdx
) 
public:
String^ GetAnnotationSubject( 
   int AnnotationIdx
)

Parameters

AnnotationIdx
The 0-based index of the required annotation within the current page. It must be a value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetAnnotationCount-1.

Return Value

The subject of the specified annotation object. The GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.
Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Please always ensure that you have selected the correct page using the GdPicturePDF.SelectPage method before applying an annotation index.
