Setting label text to bold

[rleiman]

Hi Everyone,

Can you show the needed coding that will apply Bold to the Text of a label?

I tried this but the syntax is wrong:

LabelStoreName.Typeface = Typeface.STYLE_BOLD

Thanks.

Try this ..

LabelStoreName.Typeface = Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD

Cheers mj

You can also set it in the designer:

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the replies.

The coding from mangojack worked.

Maybe .STYLE_BOLD should be removed from the Intelisence results because that's how I found it.

Erel,

Thanks for the helpful reply as well.

A lot of the other styles in that list are int and combined with the other typefaces to modify them. I usually don't have consistent results with them though.

Thanks Roger,

At least I can now see the label in bold.

Maybe .STYLE_BOLD should be removed from the Intelisence results because that's how I found it.

The STYLE constants should only be used with:
Typeface.CreateNew - as the second parameter.

Hi Erel,

Can you show a coding sample?

Thanks.

Hi All,
I tried all of above suggestions but I can't made bold the label text. None of these codes working.

Where is my mistake? Can anyone helps me please.

    Dim MyFont As Typeface
    MyFont = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("arial_condensed_bold.ttf")

    Dim lblCustomer As Label
    lblCustomer.Initialize("")
    lblCustomer.Typeface=MyFont    
    lblCustomer.Typeface=Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD
    lblCustomer.Gravity = Bit.OR(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, Gravity.LEFT)
    lblCustomer.Text = CusName
    lblCustomer.TextSize=20
    lblCustomer.TextColor=Colors.RGB(6,14,172)

    Dim lblCustomer As Label
    lblCustomer.Initialize("")
    lblCustomer.Typeface=Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.LoadFromAssets("arial_condensed_bold.ttf"),Typeface.STYLE_BOLD)
    lblCustomer.Gravity = Bit.OR(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, Gravity.LEFT)
    lblCustomer.Text = CusName
    lblCustomer.TextSize=20
    lblCustomer.TextColor=Colors.RGB(6,14,172)

What you've done looks correct to me. Maybe try moving the line where you set bold to the last line i.e. after setting it's text, size and color. Worth a shot?

 

[Eksatech]

Thanks for your suggestion RandomCoder but problem isn't solved. I changed line to end but still didn't make bold.

Does your code work if you use a standard font?
Of not then I think we may need to see more code.

This doesn't work because Style Bold returns integer unlike Typeface "Data Type".

Dim xLabel As B4XView
xLabel.Font = xui.CreateDefaultBoldFont(15)
