some of the Text Box annotation properties don't work

[TatianaS]

hello,

when I try to set Underline and Strikeout on Text Box annotation via API, it doesn't seem to work.

GetProperty('Tools.TextBox.Style', dataOut, 0);
fCoPDFXCview.SetProperty('Commenting.TextBox.Styles[#' + IntToStr(dataOut) + '].TextFormat.Char.Underline', '1', 0);
fCoPDFXCview.SetProperty('Commenting.TextBox.Styles[#' + IntToStr(dataOut) + '].TextFormat.Char.Strikeout', '1', 0);

Could you check it out please.
Thanks
-Tatiana

Problem is because you specified '1' but should be simple number. If you wanted to use string value instead of numeric then we have:

Underline:
"No", // == 0
"False", // == 0
"Yes", // == 0x10
"True", // == 0x10
"Double", // == 0x30
"Word", // == 0x50
"DoubleWord", // == 0x70

Strikeout : boolean
"yes", "true" // == 1
"no", "false" // == 0

I tried with
1/0 for Strikeout and 16 for the Underline
as well as:
'True'/'False'
'true'/'false'
'Yes'/'No'
but without success

this is one Example:
GetProperty('Tools.TextBox.Style', styleNumber, 0);

SetProperty('Commenting.TextBox.Styles[#' + IntToStr(styleNumber) + '].TextFormat.Char.Underline', 16, 0);
SetProperty('Commenting.TextBox.Styles[#' + IntToStr(styleNumber) + '].TextFormat.Char.Strikeout', 1, 0);

also, when I get the properties, they seem like they are set correctly

GetProperty('Commenting.TextBox.Styles[#' + IntToStr(styleNumber) + '].TextFormat.Char.Underline', dataOut, 0);
returns 16
GetProperty('Commenting.TextBox.Styles[#' + IntToStr(styleNumber) + '].TextFormat.Char.Strikeout', dataOut, 0);
returns 1

..but without success..

It means that SetProperty() returned error?

Hi,
Thanks for quick response. I have repro steps here:

1. Create Text Box annotation
2. Set the text to be underlined and Strikeout
3. Make it Default Text for the Text Box annotation
4. Copy and paste any Text to the document.

Result: The Text Box annotation is created with all default text properties (name, size, italic, bold, color) but underlined and Strikeout properties are not set.
