Available with ArcGIS Desktop.

Supported Platforms

Windows

Specified by:

updateFeedback in interface IAnnotationConstructor

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

Remarks

OnKeyDown may be used to listen for one or more keys being depressed and expose additional functionality. All annotation constructors have a set of keys that they respond to. See the list of hotkeys in the online help.
