Selecting and moving annotation objects

[User (Legacy)]

I've created a chart where the user can create annotation picture 

objects where they click. Dependingon the mode I also let them move any 

of the objects they created. 

 1) If the user has created, for example 

five annotation objects, when he moves one of the objects, the 

SelectionChange event is raised, but how do I know WHICH object has been 

changed. I'd like to know the new location of the object. 

 2) Is there 

a way to get the location in the units of the X and Y axes?

 3) When the 

item is selected it grows black handles at each corner which the user 

can drag to resize the object. Is there a way to disable the user from 

dragging these handles? I set AllowModify to false, but that didn't work.

4) I also don't understand how items are deselected. It seems that 

sometimes selecting a different item does not UNselect the previously 

selected item. (i.e there are two items that look selected). What's the 

logic here? Note that each annotation object is contained in its own 

AnnotationX "parent". 

Thanks

The selection can be obtained from the annotation extension as follows:

annot.SelectionList

It may be more than one object that was selected.

How about my other questions:

1) How to keep the user from attempting to resize a picture object.

AllowModify = false

doesn't work.

2)How can I prevent multiple objects (from different AnnotationX objects)

from being "selected".

Oops ! I got caught up with the first question and didn't see the others.

object.AllowMove = false;

Will disable Movement and Re-Sizing. There is no property to stop only

re-sizing but keep allowing movement.

You can implement this by reverting the object to its original size in the

SelectionChanged event. Although this will allow the user to start resizing

the object with the mouse, the change will not be committed.

Same deal. You can manipulate the SelectionList object to un-select objects

and so forth.
