Font Properties

You can set font properties of components in the code editor.

Fonts have the following properties that can be manipulated in the Form Designer and Report Designer code editors:

Bold

Set this property to True to show the font in bold. For example:

lLabel1.Font.Bold = True

Color

To set the colour of a component, you can either use colorbyname, or ColorRGB. For example, to change the font colour of a component, you could use one of these code examples:

eEdit1.Font.Color = colorbyname("Blue")

lLabel1.font.color = ColorRGB(64, 224, 208)

FontColor

You can set the colour of a font by setting this to a colour hex RGB string value. See the Color Table for hex RGB values. For example, to set the font of a label to blue, use:

lLabel1.Font.FontColor = "#0000FF"

Italic

 

Set this property to True to show the font in italic. For example:

lLabel1.Font.Italic = True

Name

Set the name of the font. For example:

lLabel1.Font.Name = "Courier"

Size

Set the font size. For example:

lLabel1.Font.height = -16

Strikeout

Set this property to True to show the font with a strikeout. For example:

lLabel1.Font.Strikeout = True

Underline

Set this property to True to show the font underlined. For example:

lLabel1.Font.Underline = True
