Subject: Re: Getting attributes from text under systemcursor?
Richard,
I see others responded with good information but I thought I would just
show you how to get what you wanted directly.
Lets say I have Wordpad open and my cursor is sitting in a word. I can
then pop up Immed and type:
@print text.character(cursor.position.screenpoint).foregroundcolor.red
Notice the line starts with an @ (at sign). This is needed because you
need Immed to put focus back to the previous application before executing
the command. Otherwise it would use the crusor in Immed which is moving
because you just hit enter...blah blah
This command will return the red RGB color of the text. You can do the
same for green and blue.
If you wanted the background then instead of specifying "foregroundcolor"
you would specify "backgroundcolor" That also has an RGB color
If you want the style you can do:
@print text.character(cursor.position.screenpoint).FontStyle
This would return a number which combines the italic, strikeout,
underline, bold attributes. So if you wanted to know if it is bold for
example you could do:
@if text.character(cursor.position.screenpoint).FontStyle and fsBold Then
: print "it is bold" : else : print "it is not bold" : end if
Hope this helps.

Hello Scripters.
Today i need to know how i can recaive the attributes of text under the
systemcursor. I need the color, and if the text is fat or underlined.
What do i have to type into Immed? By the way, where can i find a
comprehensive reference for everything thats not listed in the WE
scripting reference? I am thinking of the whole activewindow.* stuff.
Microsofts pages don't say something about it.
Thanks
Richard
