get-character-format

Arguments: window &key (scope :selection)

Depending on the value of the scope keyword argument, returns the default format of the window or the format of the first character of the selected text.

window must be an instance of a text-edit-pane (a rich-edit-pane is such an instance). Note that neither a text-edit-window, typically the parent of a text-edit-pane, or a rich-edit control are acceptable arguments, though the result of applying window to a rich-edit control is acceptable.

scope is either :default or :selection, and controls the returned value. If it is :selection, then details of the format of the first character of the currently selected text are returned. If it is :default, then details of the default character formatting for the window are returned.

The formatting details are returned as multiple values. The "same-foo" values shown here are valid only when scope is :selection. Here are the returned values in order:

character-format returns a character-format object which encapsulates the information returned by get-character-format.
