Tooltips not showing for FreeText and Typewriter comments

Post by stephen.starr »

If I hover over a line, highlight, etc... annotation I get a tooltip that shows the author. This doesn't work for the free text and typewriter annotations.

Is there a way to get the tooltips to show for these annotations?

I am using version 319.0 of the editor SDK.

Thank you,
Stephen

Hello Stephen,

Are you experiencing the same with the end-user Editor?

Cheers,
Alex

Hello Stephen,

Well I reproduced this behavior on the latest build. I will ask whether this is a bug, or this is something PDF Specification related.

Cheers,
Alex

Works correctly for me, you have to use the e.annots.inserted event which is the last to fire (when you click the hand tool)
430 If pEvent.ID = Me.PDF.Inst.Str2ID("e.annots.inserted") Then
' The IEvent interface should be cast to the IPXV_AnnotsEvent interface to
' read the IPXV_AnnotsList containing the added annotations
Dim myAnnEvent As PDFXEditCtl.IPXV_AnnotsEvent
440 Set myAnnEvent = pEvent
450 Set Annot = myAnnEvent.items.Item(myAnnEvent.items.count - 1)
460 If Not Annot Is Nothing Then
470 If Annot.IsMarkup Then
480 Set AnnMarkup = Annot.data
490 AnnMarkup.Title = "whatever you want
500 Annot.data = AnnMarkup
510 End If
520 End If
530 Set Annot = Nothing
540 Set myAnnEvent = Nothing
550 Exit Sub

Hello Clifford,

This will be fixed from our side as this is an End-User related behavior.

Cheers,
Alex
