Hans,
To cover some ground (again)...
Do you think there is a pattern of ascii character codes for each type of
'anchored' object: text boxes, graphic boxes, image boxes, XT objects (ie
NotesXT)?
a set of ascii codes from a text box consisting of extensions & boxes only:
{
4, 0, 4, <-- extension object
4, 0, 13, <-- text box
4, 0, 3, <-- text box
4, 0, 5, <-- extension object
4, 0, 14, <-- extension object
4, 0, 15, <-- extension object
4, 0, 16, <-- extension object
4, 0, 12 <-- text box
}
I honestly don't understand my results. Perhaps the numbers are based upon
order of entry?
My first experiment with this theory: I set up a document and pasted each
element in order, (all Xtension objects):
{4, 0, 1, 4, 0, 2, 4, 0, 3, 4, 0, 4, 4, 0, 5, 4, 0, 6}
Good theory, so far.
Same test, with 4 text boxes (only):
{4, 0, 1, 4, 0, 2, 4, 0, 3, 4, 0, 4}
OK, so the 3rd character corresponds to the box's order of creation, then.
But I don't think this is the whole story. For one thing, I think that
earlier tests showed 'invisible' characters which were from the contents of
the XT objects that are not showing today. Possible version change, I'll
check. Your NotesXT did that (include its own contents after the 4-0-X
sequence), did it not?
