Prgrammatically set text to Bold.

[TaTips]

HI:

How can I set a text object to BOLD programmatically.

Thanks.
Ta.

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you mean that you want a field to be bold for some values and not others, you can do this using the field format. Right-click and choose [Format Field]. Choose the [Font] tab and then set a formula for [Style].

To clarify:

IF {tab_a.field1} = 'A'
THEN
crbold

NOTE:

I cant seem to get "crbold" to work. Is "crbold" valid. it seems to compile but text stays the same.

Thanks for the suggestion by the way.
Ta.

Is this a text object, or a database field with a data type of text?

Are you placing your formula in the right area, e.g., format field->font->style?

My point is that you cannot programatically change the font style of a text object, but you can if it is a database field that has a data type of text.
