Remarks

IConvertLabelsToAnnotation provides access to the methods and properties of the ConvertLabelsToAnnotation object.  ConvertLabelsToAnnotation is a coarse grained object that performs the steps needed to convert labels to annotation.  To perform a conversion, follow these steps:

  1. Initialize the conversion object.  See the Initialize method for more information on what each parameter specifies.
  2. Next, add each layer from the map you wish to convert labels to annotation for.  See the AddFeatureLayer method for more information on what each parameter specifies.
  3. Next, perform the conversion by calling the ConvertLabels method.
  4. Following the conversion, retrieve populated geodatabase annotation layers from the object via the AnnoLayers property.  Map annotation layers are added to the map automatically and will not be included in the enumeration.
  5. Finally, any error information can be retrieved via the ErrorInfo property.
