Annotation Groups can't be unmodifiable

[User (Legacy)]

(VC6, DLL Build 16) 

I'm noticing what I think is a bug with the annotation group objects. 

Specifically, I can't get them to behave as if AllowModify = FALSE. 

Here's the scenario: 

I programmatically create three text objects and put them on the graph with 

AllowModify and AllowMove both set to false. When I run the program, 

everything works fine: I can select the text boxes, but I can't move them, 

and all the modification toolbar selections grey out when they are selected. 

So next I came up with the bright idea of grouping them all together. 

However, when I select the group object at run-time, I can still modify it 

using the toolbar (though I can't move it.) Unfortunately, this allows my 

users to make all sorts of silly grapohs that I don't want them to. 

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? 

(Code is below.)

  // Create the title group. 

  IAnnGroupPtr pTitleGroup = pAnnList->Add((long)OBJECT_TYPE_GROUP); 

// Chart title 

  IAnnTextPtr pText = pTitleGroup->Add((long)OBJECT_TYPE_TEXT); 

  pText->AllowMove = VARIANT_FALSE; 

  pText->AllowModify = VARIANT_FALSE; 

  pText->Attach(ATTACH_NONE, NULL); 

  pText->Top = 10; 

  pText->Left = 80; 

  pText->Height = 20; 

  pText->Width = 510; 

  pText->Align = LA_LEFT | LA_BASELINE; 

  pText->BkColor = CHART_TRANSPARENT; 

  pText->Text = "Main Title"; 

  // First column of chart info. 

  pText = pTitleGroup->Add((long)OBJECT_TYPE_TEXT); 

  pText->AllowMove = VARIANT_FALSE; 

  pText->AllowModify = VARIANT_FALSE; 

  pText->Attach(ATTACH_NONE, NULL); 

  pText->Top = 30; 

  pText->Left = 80; 

  pText->Height = 50; 

  pText->Width = 250; 

  pText->BkColor = CHART_TRANSPARENT; 

  pText->Text = "Subtitle one"; 

  // Second column of chart info. 

  pText = pTitleGroup->Add((long)OBJECT_TYPE_TEXT); 

  pText->AllowMove = VARIANT_FALSE; 

  pText->AllowModify = VARIANT_FALSE;

  pText->Text = "Subtitle two"; 

  // Finish off the group object.
