OBJECT Get style sheet ( {* ;} object ) -> Function result

Parameter	Type	Description
*	Operator	If specified, object is an object name (string) If omitted, object is a field or variable
object	Form object	Object name (if * is specified) or Field or variable (if * is omitted)
Function result	Text	Name of style sheet

Description

The OBJECT Get style sheet command returns the name of the style sheet associated with the object(s) designated by the object and * parameters.

Style sheets may have been assigned in Design mode using the Property List, or for the current process using the OBJECT SET STYLE SHEET command.

Passing the optional * parameter indicates that the object parameter is an object name (string). If you do not pass this parameter, it indicates that the object parameter is a field or variable. In this case, you pass a field or variable reference instead of a string (field or variable object only).

The command can return either:

a style sheet name,
an empty string ("") if no style sheet is assigned, or

if an automatic style sheet is assigned, one of the following constants found in the "Font Styles" theme:

Constant	Type	Value	Comment
Automatic style sheet	String	__automatic__	Used by default for all objects
Automatic style sheet_additional	String	__automatic_additional_text__	Supported by static text, fields and variables only. Used for additional text in dialog boxes.
Automatic style sheet_main	String	__automatic_main_text__	Supported by static text, fields and variables only. Used for main text in dialog boxes.

If the command designates several objects, the style sheet returned is only meaningful if the style sheet is assigned to all of the objects.
