Hi All.
I've found the property ABPersonFlags in AddressBook records, but I
can't find any documentation for it.
I seems that ABPersonFlags is not set a all when a new person is
created by the AddressBook app, but set to "ABPersonFlags = 1" when
the user flips the "Show As" menu command to "Company", and set to
"ABPersonFlags = 0" when the user sets the view back to "Person" (See
the "Card" menu in the AddressBook app).
Can anyone confirm this theory?
Now, why isn't it documented? Of course, there could be several
reasons... I was hoping that someone (at Apple?) could shed some light
on this, as it is rather important to the application I'm writing.
(If the AddressBook that ships with Jaguar GM does display this
behaviour I assume ABPersonFlags will remain there in future version
for compatibility's sake, but I'd like to stake my own app on
something more than an assumption... :-)
Don't relay on that at all, its a private property of the record. we
will probably not remove it, but its definately not just used for
company/person.
We will make the API public at a future date.
please don't rely on this, as it will break your application in the
next release (post Jaguar)
