Examples

Example 1

A previously defined structure is an instance variable istr_text for the current window. The structure contains the boolean fields: b_isBold, b_isItalic, and b_isUnderlined. This example checks whether the selected text has these styles and stores true or false values in the structure for each style:

istr_text.b_isBold = rte_fancy.GetTextStyle(Bold!)

istr_text.b_isItalic = rte_fancy.GetTextStyle(Italic!)

istr_text.b_isUnderlined = &

   rte_fancy.GetTextStyle(Underlined!)
