Flags parameter is not explained in Documentation for FormatTextAreaText.

FormatTextAreaText takes flags...
1 = Bold
2 = Italic
I thought 4=Underline but it doesn't seem to work.

THIS is NOT a BUG report. Topic can be locked or moved!

Grisu, I disagree.
I consider incorrect or omitted documentation to be a defect (bug) in any product I buy.

The whole documentation is missing many ("superstrict") examples and explanation. So I consider this a feature.

E.g.:
LoadIconStrip:TIconStrip(source:Object)
Source can be TImage, TPixmap and even more I guess.

The docs are correct, underline is not currently supported.

OK, this is very annoying...
@Skidracer, thanks for poiting out that 'Underline' is not supported *BUT* how would I know? My post was to point out that the FormatTextArea documentation states it takes 'flags' but does not list what the flags might be.
@Grisu, how can it be a feature when it doesn't tell me what the flags are that it takes?
Anyway, I have reposted in the Bug Forum.

The MaxGui docs do include a flags description - module version 1.08?

Nope, 1.08.

add description:
r,g,b:
color value for red, green and blue (each 0..255)

flags:
1 = format text bold
2 = format text italic
1+2 = format text bold and italic

pos:
first letter to be changed

Skid, can you post the documentation you are referring to?

Hi Skid, I looked everywhere and still can't see the documentation you are referring to. I am using module version 1.08.
Can you please post a reference to the documentation which explains FormatTextAreaText flags?
Thanks

Hi Skid, sorry to bump this again but if you can point me to that documentation for the FormatTextAreaText flags
I can put this to bed.

Ok it looks like I might have forgotten to run docmods before uploading 1.08, will double check docs before next maxgui.mod update which will be ready in next few days.

Thanks Skid.
It's good to see that the latest syncmods with win32MaxGUI 1.13 has added underline and strikethrough flags which work well.
