Hi,

I'm looking for a way to identify each annotation in javascript.

I want to be able to pass the name of an annotation item or some identifier that I can get a hold of on the server. That way when I do something to the annotaion.layer.item I can know which one to affect.

The javascript I have is

function OnAnnotationClicked(e)

{

 

WebImageViewer1.RemoteInvoke('SetActiveAnnotation', new Array("stringValue"));

}

e.annotation is a valid object but is there some sort of e.annotation.name or e.annotation.id or WebImageViewer1 item number for the annotation item?

Cheers

Unfortunately there is no way to identify annotations by ID or Name on the client side.  These are only accessible on the server side.

For a detailed list of available JavaScript properties, you can use this reference:

Tha atalaAnnotation object is returned by e.annotation.

Actually I found that I can use the getZIndex() to identify which annotation I'm using.

So now I have a method that gets the server to store which annotation gets clicked on.

WebImageViewer1.RemoteInvoke('SetActiveAnnotation', new Array(e.annotation.getParent().getLayerIndex(), e.annotation.getZIndex()));

 

Thanks though.

You can do this, but if you reorder any of the annotations by using Insert or Remove, the ZIndex could be changed.
