ST SET OPTIONS


ST SET OPTIONS ( {* ;} object ; option ; value {; option2 ; value2 ; ... ; optionN ; valueN} )

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)
option	Longint	Option to set
value	Longint	New value of option

Description

The ST SET OPTIONS command modifies one or more operating options for the styled text field or variable designated by the object parameter.

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).

Pass the code of the option to modify in option and its new value in value.

The option parameter supports the following constant found in the "Multistyle Text" theme:

Constant	Type	Value	Comment
ST Expressions display mode	Longint	1	The value parameter can contain ST Values or ST References

In the value parameter, you can pass one of the following constants:

Constant	Type	Value	Comment
ST References	Longint	1	Display source strings of expressions
ST Values	Longint	0	Display computed values of expressions

Display of values:

The following code lets you switch the display mode of the area:

 ST GET OPTIONS(*;"StyledText_t";ST Expressions display mode;$exprValue)

 If($exprValue=1)

    ST SET OPTIONS(*;"StyledText_t";ST Expressions display mode;ST Values)

 Else

    ST SET OPTIONS(*;"StyledText_t";ST Expressions display mode;ST References)
