Re: Text style is hit or miss for me

Roger,

The advantage of the array notation for textStyle is that you can explicitly 
set each style for a given run of text.

The disadvantage of the array notation for textStyle is that you have to 
explicitly un-set each style for a given run of text.  ;)

  set the textStyle[“bold”] of the selectedChunk to false

But as you note, if you want to clear out *all* style formatting, the old, 
non-array method of setting the textStyle to plain works great. Nuke those 
styles!

Thank you, Mark!

Try

  set the textStyle["bold"] of the selectedChunk to true
  set the textStyle["italic"] of the selectedChunk to true

Warmest Regards,

Text style is hit or miss for me

[Roger Eller via use-livecode]

 I am attempting to add formatting buttons above a field.  If the text is
typed into the field, my formatting buttons work as expected.  When a user
pastes text from another application, my formatting works sometimes, but
not always.

Below is what I use in my Bold button, and Italic button. I want to keep
the style that is already applied, and add an additional style, for
example, if the selection is already bold, I want it to stay bold but add
italics.

set the textStyle of the selectedChunk to (the textStyle of the
selectedChunk) & "," & "bold"

set the textStyle of the selectedChunk to (the textStyle of the
selectedChunk) & "," & "italic"
How do you guys do formatting buttons?
