NewAnnotation Returns an annotation’s new property values.

Source Gets or sets a reference to the object that raised the event. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

InvokeEventHandler(Delegate, Object) When overridden in a derived class, provides a way to invoke event handlers in a type-specific way, which can increase efficiency over the base implementation. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.

#Remarks

The code sample below prohibits changing annotations of a specific author:

<dxpdf:PdfViewerControl x:Name="pdfViewer" 
                        AnnotationChanging="pdfViewer_AnnotationChanging">
private void pdfViewer_AnnotationChanging(object sender, PdfAnnotationChangingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.OldAnnotation.Author == "Cardle Anita L") { e.Cancel = true; }
}
