Layout | Style - how to "ignore" some style attributes
« on: April 04, 2017, 04:54:53 pm »
We're starting to use the Layout | Style functionality (which is stored in t_trxtypes).  We'd like to be able to specify different sets of attributes for different styles; so that one might say: set the border only, another might say set the fill colour only.

We've found we can have some control over this by editing the t_trxtypes.Notes field directly and setting (some) of the values we want left alone to "-1": Fill=-1;Border=255;Line=2;  - leave fill colour alone, set border to 2 pixels, blue.

It would be nice to be able to do this via the UI,  but since these change so rarely, it's not a big imposition.

However, it isn't obvious if we can do the same to the Font attributes.  Is it possible? and what values do we need to set?

TIA,
Paolo
