How to use IMoveTextFeedback.Start()?

DanielRoth — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 17:59:25 GMT

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);
  }

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.

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.

Kind regards,

Daniel
