Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| panelHandle | int | Specifier for a particular panel that is currently in memory. You can obtain this handle from functions such as LoadPanel and NewPanel. |
| controlID | int | The defined constant, located in the .uir header file, that you assigned to the control in the User Interface Editor, or the ID returned by functions such as NewCtrl and DuplicateCtrl. |
| annotationIndex | int | The one-based index of the graph annotation whose attribute value you want to set. If you pass –1 for the index, LabWindows/CVI sets the specified attribute value for all annotations on the graph. |
| annotationAttribute | int | The graph annotation attribute value to set. In the function panel, when you click the control or press <Enter>, <Spacebar>, or <Ctrl-down arrow>, a dialog box appears containing a hierarchical list of the available attributes. Attributes whose values cannot be obtained are dimmed. Help text is shown for each attribute. To select an attribute, double-click it or select it and then press <Enter>. If the attribute shown in this ring control has named constants as valid values, you can open a list of them by moving to the Attribute Value control and pressing <Enter>. The Attribute Values dialog box displays the values and value help for the constants. |
| attributeValue | ... | The value to which to set the annotation attribute. If the attribute shown in this ring control has named constants as valid values, you can open a list of them by pressing <Enter>. The Attribute Values dialog box displays the values and value help for the constants. |
