PROCEDURE SetTextStyle(
            objectHd   :HANDLE;
            Start      :INTEGER;
            Count      :INTEGER;
            Style      :INTEGER);

def vs.SetTextStyle(objectHd, Start, Count, Style):
    return None

Parameters

objectHd		HANDLE		Handle to text object.
Start		INTEGER		Start position in text string.
Count		INTEGER		Length of substring.
Style		INTEGER		Text style setting for substring.

Remarks

Note that SetTextStyle() toggles the bit you have set in the argument, but does not touch other bits (styles). So if the text object is bold, italic, underline, outline, shadow and you call SetTextStyle(4) to attempt to set it to underline you will actually be turning the underline bit OFF and leaving the others alone. The resulting text is: bold, italic, outline, shadow.

Outline and Shadowed are only available on the Macintosh.

Example

VectorScript

SetTextSyle(HandleToText, 0, 5, 34);

{set the style of the substring text to bold and shadowed}
