Reading text format with FormatTextArea()

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/Reading text format with FormatTextArea()

Just wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to read the properties of text formatting created with the FormatTextArea() command? I'm writing a text editor component of the program I'm writing and need to be able to read and store the properties that the user has set for the text.

Does nobody have any advice?

Not that I'm aware of.. you will have to record the properties. There may be a way to do it using API functions.

I have had to do this for an IDE I'm writting.

L8r,

How would I use API functions with Blitz+?

Do a search here for userlib (user librarys)
