StyleList Object Build History

8/16/10
  • End of Life and Deprecation Notice – StyleList Object has been deprecated. Company parsing and standardization is available in Name Object, and phone formatting is available in Phone Object. Stylist Object installations will continue to work but Melissa Data will not offer support or code fixes after August 31st 2010.

  • StyleList continues to be available as a desktop software product, click here for more information.

1/14/03 Release

  • When casing small strings (such as "-") with Visual Basic, API would crash.

  • Added more comprehensive examples for Borland C++, Visual Basic, Visual FoxPro, Visual C++, SQL Server 7, and SQL Server 2000.

  • Added SLLastError function to better report initialization problems.

  • Better error capturing where user has initialized without indicating the location of the StyleList lookup tables.

  • Much work done on help file to match the quality of the Double Take API help system.


8/7/02 Release

  • Microsoft .lib and .h files added to distribution.

  • Work done on help file - information on Visual C++ added, Visual Basic information updated.

  • Bug fixed - abbreviation mode was often stripping punctuation, whether or not the user requested it.

  • Additional tables SlStr1.Dbf and SlCo1.Dbf added to distribution package. See Files for more information on these two alternate tables.

  • "Mr. John Smith" would upper case to "Mr. JOHN SMITH". Fixed.

  • Table: Fax should expand to "Facsimile" (we aren't in the 60's any more).

  • "Eds", "Note", and "Toy" to 4 letter word table.

  • 600+ entries to the company tables. Many were acronym combinations (such as "LNB Bancorp") that would case properly as long as the user didn't monkey with the 4 letter word table (we're just playing it safe here). New companies on Nasdaq and the NYSE were also added - not a single dot-com! In fact, several companies actually dropped the ".com" from their name.

  • Abbreviating, punctuation was sometimes getting stripped when it wasn't supposed to.
