B4J Question FontAwesome at runtime

[micro]

Hi to all
If I create a button at runtime and add FontAwesome text and icon when i move or click on the button the icon is no longer displayed correctly.
Why?
Thanks

Can you show us how you have created the button, then we might be able to help.

Dim bt As Button
bt.Initialize("btmainarc")
bt.Font = fx.CreateFontAwesome(14)
'In iconhex i have the value
dim s As String =  iconhex.Replace("0x", "")
bt.Text = "Text " &  Chr(Bit.ParseInt(s, 16))

The Text and the icon is regularly displayed.

Where does the value of iconhex come from? Is it really a string?

This works for me:

Sub AppStart (Form1 As Form, Args() As String)
    MainForm = Form1
    'MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("Layout1") 'Load the layout file.
    MainForm.Show
    Dim bt As Button
    Dim iconHex As String = "0xF0AB"
    bt.Initialize("btmainarc")
    bt.Font = fx.CreateFontAwesome(14)
'    'In iconhex i have the value
'    bt.Text = "Text " &  Chr(iconHex)
    'In iconhex i have the value
    Dim s As String =  iconHex.Replace("0x", "")
    Log(s)
    bt.Text = "Text " &  Chr(Bit.ParseInt(s, 16))
   
   
    MainForm.RootPane.AddNode(bt,50,50,150,50)
End Sub

Are you changing the text of the button anywhere?

No.
Works fine also for me, only if move on or click on button the icon is wrong displayed (rectangular image for bad value).

 

[stevel05]

That example is clickable, the font doesn't change. There must be another reason that it does in your app.

Are you changing the size of the button in your code?

No is only a resize of the desktop capture

 

[stevel05]

Are you loading any css files into the project that may overwrite the font setting?

Yes, I loading two css files for other object not for button.

 

[stevel05]

Try removing them and see if it makes a difference to the button.

 

[stevel05]

Also does it do the same in Release mode?

 

[stevel05]

Strangely enough I've just had a similar problem. For me the answer was to set the font weight using CSSUtils. Why? because the weight I set in code was being overwritten by other CSS, and inline CSS has the highest priority and won't be overwritten.

Please reproduce it in a small project and upload the project.

it is true stevel05
is CCSUTILS the problem, if I eliminate this

CSSUtils.SetStyleProperty(bt, "-fx-font-weight", "bold")

work fine.
Thanks
