object GetAttachedEntities3()

Object^ GetAttachedEntities3(); 

Return Value

This method now supports all annotation types. See IAnnotation::GetType to determine the type of annotation.

The array returned by this function may contain one or more objects of varying type. To determine the corresponding object type in the IAnnotation::GetAttachedEntites3 array, see IAnnotation::GetAttachedEntityTypes or IAnnotation::IGetAttachedEntityTypes. COM applications can use QueryInterface to obtain the specific object from the LPUNKNOWN pointer.

You can associate annotations with some items not listed in the previous table (for example, origins). If this annotation is attached to one or more of those entities, then SolidWorks returns a corresponding NULL in one of the array positions and IAnnotation::GetAttachedEntityTypes indicates the unsupported entity by returning a corresponding swSelNOTHING value. COM applications that call IAnnotation::GetAttachedEntityCount3 include the NULL value in the total count of associated entities.

Likewise, if an annotation has become disassociated from its geometry, then SolidWorks returns a corresponding NULL in one of the array positions and IAnnotation::GetAttachedEntityTypes indicates the dangling item by returning a corresponding swSelNOTHING value.

If this annotation is not associated with any geometry (for example, a note without a leaderline), then SolidWorks returns an empty array.
