FontAwesome for Visual Studio ?

[Deleted member 103]

Hi,

can you use the B4x-fonts FontAwesome and MaterialIcons in Visual-Studio? If yes, does anyone know how?

Thank you in advance

FontAwesome and Material Icons are not really B4X fonts. They are standard fonts.

The correct solution is to use B4J.

It is possible to use any font you like with .Net Framework. The syntax can be quite ugly. For example:

<TextBox FontFamily="pack://application:,,,/UIShared;component/Resources/#Material Icons" ...

I'll try it right away.

It is not enough. You also need to include the font file as a resource.

Why is the GPS icon missing? You can put an ImageView above the text field.

The GPS icon is only visible when my Bluetooth GPS mouse is connected.
It is only visible in the VS application because the application is not yet finished.
