BaseStyleNo

[standay]

Sergey,

I was curious as to exactly what BaseStyleNo is used for. I looked in the help and it's listed as a property but no details on it are there.

I'm wondering if you create a new textstyle and set the BaseStyleNo in that to an existing style, can you then make a change to the original existing style and have that "auto-update" any other styles that use that style no as the new style's BaseStyleNo? Not sure that's clear but any info appreciated.

It does nothing.
Initially, there were plans to implement something like you described.
But finally this auto-update functionality was implemented in StyleTemplates property.

Ah, ok, I think I saw that in another post and forgot about it. Thanks.

The thing I've struggled with the most are the styles and style templates. I pretty much gave up on the templates. I found it easier to just do what I want in code with regular text and para styles. I still have 2 templates in my app but plan to replace those soon.
