Example  

This method allows defining properties for a new style. In this example, we will set a value for each of the three style properties to customize:

  • The "horizontal alignment" property will become "to the left",
  • The "vertical alignment" property will become "center",
  • The "rotation" property will become "90 degrees".

 ARRAY LONGINT($ArrayProps;3) //Stylesheet properties array
 ARRAY LONGINT($ArrayValues;3) //Value of each property
 
 C_TEXT($StyleName) //Name of style to add to Area
 
 ARRAY LONGINT($StyleNumArray;0) //Style numbers array
 ARRAY TEXT($StyleNameArray;0) //Style names array
 C_LONGINT($Index) //Loop index
 C_LONGINT($Position) //Position of new style in number and name arrays
 
  //Initialization
 $ArrayProps{1}:=pv style hor alignment //Corresponding properties...
 $ArrayProps{2}:=pv style vert alignment
 $ArrayProps{3}:=pv style rotation
 
 $ArrayValues{1}:=pv value hor alignment left //...and values
 $ArrayValues{2}:=pv value hor alignment center
 $ArrayValues{3}:=pv value rotation 90
 
 $StyleName:="subparagraph"
 
 PV GET STYLE LIST(Area;$StyleNumArray;$StyleNameArray) //List of available styles
 
 If(Find in array($StyleNameArray;$StyleName)=-1) //Style $StyleName absent?
    $Position:=Size of array($StyleNameArray)+1 //We will add it
    INSERT IN ARRAY($StyleNameArray;$Position) //Resize arrays
    INSERT IN ARRAY($StyleNumArray;$Position)
    $StyleNameArray{$Position}:=$StyleName  //Assign name of new style
    $StyleNumArray{$Position}:=PV Add style(Area;$StyleName) //Assign number of new style
 
    For($Index;1;Size of array($ArrayProps)) //For all properties to be set
       If(PV Get style property(Area;$StyleNumArray{$Position};$ArrayProps{$Index})#$ArrayValues{$Index})
          PV SET STYLE PROPERTY(Area;$StyleNumArray{$Position};$ArrayProps{$Index};$ArrayValues{$Index})
       End if //Property doesn't have the desired value?
    End for //Review array $ArrayProps of stylesheet properties
 
 Else
    ALERT("The style'"+$StyleName+"' is already present in the area.")
 End if
