Visio Xml Style Node

[wdhough]

Hi,

The Style node found under the text node for a shape in Visio xml is
supposed to indicate whether the charset is bold, underlined,italic and small
caps.

The values for for each of these from the Visio Xml Reference claim to be
Bold: 1
Italic: 2
Underline 4
Small Caps: 8

I set some text to be underlined, bold and italic.
and the style node value was 55?
I dont understand how the value 55 is reached from what should be 1+2+4 = 7

Any help here would be great!

Thanks

One more visSmallCaps = 8 , then 1+2+4+8=15, and 55 mod 16 =7.
The value 7, 23,39,55 give same result. It looks something cyclic.

Ok well the maths certainly hold, The documentation describes the number as
The value represents a binary number in which each bit indicates a character
style.
so that would make sense with your math as well right?

Thanks for help on this

I've thought these constants are defined as "long".
