Multiline Style

Anonymous — Mon, 03 Sep 2001 13:37:37 GMT

Does anyone know of a method for programmatically determining what Multiline
style is currently active? If there's a way of doing it, it's escaping me.

Examine the CMLSTYLE variable.

Do you notice the lines in "*.mln" ? That defined the style of your mlines. It's your alternative to use Frank's great vbXtender.arx .Unfortunely, the method of "loadmlinestyle" seems dont' work well, Frank , Please tell me how? A thousand thanks to you!!

There's a bug in vbxtender's loadmlinestyle. If you look at the arx source
code you will see that the parameters are reversed. Since they are both
strings, you can just reverse the meaning when you call loadmlinestyle.
This is how I'm calling it:

g_objVbXtenderApp.LoadMLineStyle vstrStyleName, m_kstrMLineStyleFile

You'll notice that the documentation requests the file followed by the style
name. Just ignore it!

One other note, I've found that loading an Mline style only works if the
style has never been loaded before. Once you've loaded a style, you can't
change settings and reload the style. You're stuck with it. (Unless I'm
missing something)

Now I don't know whether I should fix it for fear of breaking existing
code 😉

I say fix it because it won't break our code if we don't download the fix!
If we do download the fix, we will know what we're getting into, eh!
