How do you get a draw rectangle to stay displayed

I drew a rectangle on a document using the function AVPageViewDragOutNewRect, however, the rectangle flashes on the screen for a second and then disappears. How do I go about getting he rectangle to remain showing?

Your code itself looks fine, but where are you calling it from?  You should do drawing only during one of the drawing callbacks, i.e. a handler for AVAnnotHandlerDrawProc or AVAnnotHandlerDrawExProc., or a function passed to AVAppRegisterForPageViewDrawing.

Something that is part of the PDF itself? Look at the PDEdit layer of APIs

I actually don't need the rectangle to be apart of the PDF itself. I just want it to remain displayed on the page and get the AVFixedRect associated with it. As of right now I can get the rectangle but I can't get it to stay. Here is a sample code.

AVPageViewDragOutNewRect(pageView,xHit,yHit,&resultRect);

ASFixedRect fixedRect;

AVPageViewDeviceRectToPage(pageView,&resultRect,&fixedRect);

AVPageViewGhostRectOutline(pageView, &resultRect);

AVPageViewInvalidateRect(pageView, &resultRect);

AVPageViewDrawNow (pageView);

AVPageViewDrawRect(pageView, &resultRect);

I'm calling it from a DoClick function
