Thanks Ian,
I've rolled an XML Style data class to store style and alignment data from
an editfield, but I've had to jump all sort of hoops:
Report ID: wljezwbk
Summary: StyleRun.Color object returns incorrect results
Description
When you drop or copy some coloured text onto a styled EditField the color
returned by the StyleRun.Color object is incorrect (always some shade of
green)
Report ID: vhvhmvfg
Summary: ParagraphAlignment doesn't work correctly on newly created
Description
If you create a new StyledText object and try to set alignment on it's
paragraphs chances are you wont 'get what you want after assigning that
StyledText to an EdtiField.
Report ID: xdaftznx
Summary: I want to get the full font name by SelTextFont property.
Description
There are some fonts whose name has "W3","w4","w8","W6","Bold" ,"Light" and
etc at the end of their name.
When selecting the name of these type of fonts using SelTextFont,these full
name of letters("W3","w4","w8","W6","Bold" ,"Light" and etc ) are missing.
I want to get the full font name by SelTextFont property
and now this Paragraph thing
deal is I need to cast a Paragraph object to know what Alignment it has
...well maybe I can find some workaround also for this (there's a
SelAlignment prop IIRC)
what an irony if one thinks this whole StyledText thing was supposed to
speed up things allowing access to style data without fiddling with the
EditField selections
Cool Runnings,
Erne.
