Styles and masks

[Jerry Evans]

I'm not sure I understand SCI_STARTSTYLING and SCI_SETSTYLING. Lets say
I want to apply style aStyle to 10 characters starting at position pos:

SendMessage(hWnd,,SCI_STARTSTYLING,pos,mask);
SendMessage(hWnd,SCI_SETSYLING,10,aStyle);

What is the role of mask here? Does it dictate which parts of the style
are applied? If I set mask to 0xFF, then my (Windows) Scintilla control
displays the 10 characters from position with a green squiggly
underline. Slightly counter-intuitive.

Many thanks.

Jerry.
