Selected Annotation Highlighting
In the latest version, whenever you draw or select and annotation, it is highlighted with short lines that seem to move around the border of the annotation. I am sure that this was intended to make it easy to see the selected annotation. However, we have had reports from our customers that this new effect is causing flickering and eye strain on some monitors. Is there a way of turning off this property?

Re: Selected Annotation Highlighting
Hello HJBrown, ugradedeveloper,
The feature was promised for an earlier build but as it happens more important features delayed it.
I asked our development team for an update on the status of this, and got an answer that they will try to add the option to turn those "trails" off for the next build, but as the build is really close to completion this feature might remain for the next one.
Regards,
Stefan

Please impress upon the powers that make these decisions that a lot of users are getting serious screen flicker as a result of this. The sooner the better please. And thanks.

HJBrown,
He said, in the new build they've added an option "Simple Focus Appearance" to address this and is scheduled to be released early next week.

Re: Selected Annotation Highlighting
Hi Guys,
Is there any example of setting 'Simple Focus Appearance' in either vb.net or vb6? What is the named object? Is it document specific or does it apply to the control instance?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Selected Annotation Highlighting
I believe that docu-track99 was asking whether there is an SDK method to set this value - i.e. a member of the Commenting object similar to ShowTextIndicators and ShowTooltips. I am interested in this also.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You can try:
SetProperty("Commenting.SimpleFocusApp", 1, 0);

SetProperty("Commenting.SimpleFocusApp", 1, 0);
