How to use IMoveTextFeedback.Start()?

Question

Hi, Does anybody know how to use IMoveTextFeedback.Start() or can give me an example? I can't find any example or documentation in the internet. I get an exception in my code (see below). Help is much appreciated. Thanks. Kind Regards, daniel IFeature selectedFeature = GetSelectedFeature(); var annotationFeature = selectedFeature as IAnnotationFeature2; if (selectedFeature != null && annotationFeature != null) { IScreenDisplay screenDisplay = ArcMapUtils.GetAppScreenDisplay(MxApplication); ISymbol symbol = ((IEditAnnotationProperties) Editor).MultiWordSelectionSymbol; _moveTextFeedback = new MoveTextFeedbackClass(); _moveTextFeedback.Display = screenDisplay; _moveTextFeedback.Symbol = symbol; const bool parallel = false; const double offset = 0; double referenceScale = MapUtils.GetReferenceScale(GetFocusMap()); try { IPoint mapPoint = ToMapPoint(x, y); var polygon = (IPolygon)selectedFeature.Shape; IEnvelope envelope = polygon.Envelope; _moveTextFeedback.Start(polygon, envelope.Height, envelope.Width, referenceScale, mapPoint, offset, parallel, esriMoveTextConstraints.esriMoveTextConstraintsCursor); } catch (Exception exception) { _msg.Error("shit", exception); } }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi Jared Thanks a lot for your answer. This was my first question in GeoNet and I never expected to get a reply on such a specific question. I really appreciate it. I would expect this bug to be fixed in 10.6 since it’s reported a year ago.

A bug, BUG-000105580, was logged for this in June 2017 which can be found here - The IMoveTextFeedback.Start(...) method throws an Automation Exception when initialized. It is currently in the product plan to be fixed but no date specified just yet.
