Viewer's .BMK and .ANN Files (107170)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Multimedia Viewer Publishing Toolkit 2.0
This article was previously published under Q107170 SUMMARY
The formats of the .ANN and .BMK files used by the Microsoft Multimedia
Viewer version 2.0 are not documented.
When a user adds annotations to a title using Viewer's Annotate dialog box,
the annotations are stored in the file FILENAME.ANN in the Windows
directory, where FILENAME is the filename of the .MVB file. Viewer cannot
access the annotations if the .ANN file is moved out of the Windows
directory.
Bookmarks are saved to and retrieved from the VIEWER.BMK file. This file
must also reside in the Windows directory.
MORE INFORMATION
The only interface that Viewer provides to the annotations is the
Annotate() command. This command brings up the Annotate dialog box. Viewer
does not provide a way to programmatically determine whether a topic has
annotations, nor does it provide a way to retrieve the annotations for a
topic. Viewer also does not allow the paper clip annotation bitmap to be
customized.
The bookmark facility can be accessed only via the BookmarkDefine() and
BookmarkMore() commands. The BookmarkDefine() command displays the Define
dialog box where the user can enter bookmarks. The BookmarkMore() command
displays a dialog box with a list of all the bookmarks defined in the
title. Viewer does not provide a way to programmatically retrieve a list of
all the bookmarks defined in the title, or to determine whether a given
topic has a bookmark. There is also no way to obtain a list of the topics
that have bookmarks.
