Get annotation feature extent

[MinhHoangf]

Hello everyone, i'm working with annotation layer and annotation feature.

I added an annotation feature to annotation layer. Now i want to get it's precise extent. I tried inpector.GetAnnotationProperties().Shape, but it returns a MapPoint, not the boundary of text. If i use inspector["Shape"] or inspector.GeometryAttribute.CurrentValue, it returns a polygon, but not exactly bound the text, like in image below:

My question is, how to get annotation feature boundary, exactly cover the text, like this image

Have you tried the  CIMTextGraphic.Shape ?

[MinhHoangf]

Yes, it returns a MapPoint. I also tried AnnotationFeature.GetGraphicOutline(), but it returns same polygon as inspector["Shape"].

See GetDrawingOutline on the AnnotationLayer (inherited from BasicFeatureLayer) which has options for how detailed of a shape you'd like.
