DeleteAnnotation Method (AnnotationManager)

In This Topic
Removes a required GdPicture/XMP annotation object specified by its index related to the selected page of the document currently handled by this AnnotationManager object.

Be aware that this method only handles GdPicture/XMP annotations. Likewise, annotations are always treated relative to the selected page.

Syntax
'Declaration

 


Public Function DeleteAnnotation( _

   ByVal AnnotationIdx As Integer _

) As GdPictureStatus
public GdPictureStatus DeleteAnnotation( 

   int AnnotationIdx

)
public function DeleteAnnotation( 

    AnnotationIdx: Integer

): GdPictureStatus; 
public function DeleteAnnotation( 

   AnnotationIdx : int

) : GdPictureStatus;
public: GdPictureStatus DeleteAnnotation( 

   int AnnotationIdx

) 
public:

GdPictureStatus DeleteAnnotation( 

   int AnnotationIdx

)

Parameters

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

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK. We strongly recommend always checking this status first.
Remarks
It is recommend to use the GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Please ensure that you have selected the proper page before starting any annotation related action with the handled document. Annotations are always treated relative to the currently selected page.

Example
How to delete the specified annotation.
This example shows you how to delete all GdPicture/XMP annotations contained on the selected page.
