We are interested in a way to keep our application's concept of Styles

maintained by a Style Manager in sync with TRichView's concept of styles

held in TextStyles, ParaStyles, and ListStyles.

The problem is that TRVListType for levels does not have a NONE type to

represent no bullet/numbering as a list option for paragraphs.

For each named Style created in our Style Manager we create 3 corresponding

styles in Richview (TextStyle, ParaStyle, and ListStyle) all with the same

name.When the style created has NONE for the level for the list style, we

have no way to correspondingly create a ListStyle and add a level to the

TRVListLevelCollection collection. The reason we would like to do this is

that if we have multiple paragraphs in the document with the same named

style and that style changes from bullet lists to number lists we want to be

able to just update the corresponding ListStyles with that same name and

have all occurrences of that ListStyle be updated in the Richview. Also if

the Style changes from bullets to NONE we want to be able to update all

occurrences of that style to not have bullets. The RemoveLists(false) method

only works on the Selected paragraph and we want to update all ListStyles

with that name to have a NONE ListStyle Level type, but we don't want to

delete the ListStyle because the user may want to change it back from NONE

to Bullets later.

We use the ApplyListStyles, ApplyTextStyles, ApplyParaStyles, and

RemoveLists methods when we want to update only the currently selected text

or paragraph, but we want the concept of Styles to apply to multiple

paragraphs throughout the Richview document, and when a styles changes we

want it to change everywhere, not just in the selected paragraph(s).
