Annotation objects

[Software FX]

There is a work around for this.  There is an enable property that you can set that will not allow the annotation objects to receive mouse clicks.  

AnnotX.Enabled = False 

In order for this property to work you do need to create your objects the following way. 

Dim Annotx As Object 

Set Annotx = New AnnotationX 

    ChartFX1.AddExtension annotx 

If you created the annotation objects with the following code then the enable property will not work. 

Dim WithEvents AnnotX As AnnotationX 

Set AnnotX = New AnnotationX 

    ChartFX1.AddExtension AnnotX

Conversation: A basic question about Annotation objects and mouse click 

events 

Subject: A basic question about Annotation objects and mouse click 

events 

Francesco, 

I have a chart which has two "ARROW" type 

annotation objects laid on top of it.  They are 

working fine but there is one minor annoyance. 

Even though I have the "AllowModify" property 

for these objects set to FALSE, they still allow the user 

to click on them and hilight them.  In effect, they 

occasionally "steal" mouse click events from the chartFx 

object which results in having to click the chart multiple 

times to activate the underlying event routine I need to 

execute.  Is there any way to completely disable Annotation 

objects from receiving mouse events?  I've tried removing 

the "WithEvents" modifier in the declaration of "AnnotX" 

in VB but this doesn't change the behavior. 

TIA, 

Gary
