This is real item style.

>=0 - text item

<0 - non-text item

> TCustomRVItemInfo(AllItems[i]).AssociatedTextStyleNo

This is only for non-text items. This is a text style associated with this

non-text item.

Used in: tabs, labelitem. For other items returns -1.

The same as StyleNo if you do not use text styles default for paragraphs

I understand, and I can give you a code to make this efficiently.

What your footnote is? A special item type?
