I add a tool in my plug-in named "MyTool", in its mouse drag notifier handler I dynamically create a path object. then in the mouse up notifier handler I try to add a point text at the cursor position, but It fails to create the text object. The created object is an unknown type. I don't know why? Can someboy help me? thanks!

Just a remark: you might want to investigate the annotator suite. If you're trying to get the effect of a peice of text or a line or something moving around on the page, the annotator suite is a good way to do that without having to manage art objects. Once you get annotators up & running, they're pretty slick.

There is no any clue. When the debugger reaches the line of "ITextRange::InsertAfter", it enters into assemble code block. I tried to use try...catch to capture the exception, but it still enters into assemble code. I only got information "memory access voilent" from Output window.

The following is the code:
AIArtHandle group = NULL;
sAIArt->GetFirstArtOfLayer(NULL, &group);

AIArtHandle art = NULL;
sAITextFrame->NewPointText(kPlaceInsideOnTop, group, kHorizontalTextOrientation, location, &art);

TextRangeRef range = NULL;
sAITextFrame->GetATETextRange(art, &range);
ITextRange cRange(range);
cRange.InsertAfter("Test");

Could you please help me? Thanks!

When you create the art, what error number does it give back? It often (but not always) provides a clue as to why it failed to create the requested artwork.
