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)
