An editor extension for creating and editing annotation features.
Use the ISupportErrorInfo method InterfaceSupportsErrorInfo to determine if the object supports extended error information. If the object supports extended error info, VC++ developers should use the OLE/COM IErrorInfo interface to access the ErrorInfo object. Visual Basic developers should use the global error object Err to retrieve this extended error information.
| Interfaces | Description | 
|---|---|
| IAnnotationEditExtension | Provides access to members that control annotation feature editing. | 
| IEditEvents | Provides access to editor events. Implement it to listen for specific events that occur during an edit session. | 
| IEditEvents2 | Provides access to more editor events. Implement it to listen for specific events that occur during an edit session. | 
| IEditSketchExtension | Provides access to members that extend the edit sketch. | 
| IEditSketchExtension2 | Provides access to members that extend the edit sketch. | 
| IExtension (esriSystem) | Provides access to members that define an extension. | 
| ISupportErrorInfo (esriSystem) | 
The AnnotationEditExtension is an editor extension to manage and create Geodatabase annotation features. The primary interface IAnnotationEditExtension can be accessed using IEditor::FindExtension and the CLSID for "esriEditor.AnnotationEditExtension".
The following C# code illustrates how to acquire a reference of type IAnnotationEditExtension to the AnnotationEditExtension object.
public void GetAnnotationEditExtensionByCLSID()
{
  //You can get app from ICommand :: OnCreate() hook parameter
  UID editorUid = new UIDClass();
  editorUid.Value = "esriEditor.Editor";
  IEditor editor = app.FindExtensionByCLSID(editorUid) as IEditor;
  UID extUid = new UIDClass();
  extUid.Value = "esriEditor.AnnotationEditExtension";
  IAnnotationEditExtension annoExt = editor.FindExtension(extUid) as IAnnotationEditExtension;
}
The following VBNet code illustrates how to acquire a reference of type IAnnotationEditExtension to the AnnotationEditExtension object.
  Public Sub GetAnnotationEditExtensionByCLSID()
    'You can get app from ICommand :: OnCreate() hook parameter
    Dim editorUid As UID = New UIDClass()
    editorUid.Value = "esriEditor.Editor"
    Dim editor As IEditor = TryCast(app.FindExtensionByCLSID(editorUid), IEditor)
    Dim extUid As UID = New UIDClass()
    extUid.Value = "esriEditor.AnnotationEditExtension"
    Dim annoExt As IAnnotationEditExtension = TryCast(editor.FindExtension(extUid), IAnnotationEditExtension)
  End Sub
