I am looking for a way to set the label engine of a map document (Standard vs Maplex) programmatically using c#. I have seen an older sample that uses VBA but the setting does is not persisted when I open the file using ArcMap.
IMaplexAnnotateMap maplex_annotate_map = new MaplexAnnotateMapClass(); map.AnnotationEngine = maplex_annotate_map as IAnnotateMap;
Any assistance would be appreciated.

** Update **
I am able to get the map to recognize the change in labeling engine. The problem is that no changes made to the properties of my IMaplexOverposterLayerProperties instance are there when I open/utilize the Mxd.
Does anyone have any working examples for programmatically making changes to this interface?
In particular, I am trying to use "esriMaplexPolygonPlacementMethod.esriMaplexRepeatAlongBoundary".
I have created the desired rendering in Desktop and compared the values of the interfaces. When I open the mxd in ArcMap, only default values are set.
