Example

Remarks

You can create a Block definition using IDocument::CreateBlockDefinition. The name you specify for the BlockName parameter for IDocument::CreateBlockDefinition is the same name that you should specify for the BlockName parameter for ILeader::SetBlockAnnotation. When ILeader::SetBlockAnnotation executes, it creates a Block instance of the specified Block definition.

If a Block definition already exists, then you can get the existing Block definitions for a document using IDocument::GetBlockDefinitions and the name of each existing Block definition using IBlockDefinition::GetName. Use the desired name returned by IBlockDefinition::GetName for the BlockName parameter for ILeader::SetBlockAnnotation.
