private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)         {             fpSpread1.StartAnnotationMode(true);             //fpSpread1.StartAnnotationMode();         }         private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)         {             fpSpread1.StopAnnotationMode();         }         private void fpSpread1_AnnotationModeStarting(object sender, FarPoint.Win.Spread.AnnotationModeEventArgs e)         {                          e.DrawingSurface.ForeColor = Color.BlueViolet;             e.DrawingSurface.BackColor = Color.Thistle;         }         private void fpSpread1_AnnotationModeEnding(object sender, FarPoint.Win.Spread.AnnotationModeEventArgs e)         {             listBox1.Items.Add("Stop Drawing");         }
