iOS Question TabBarItem with Icon

[Nicolás Cieri]

Hi, I'm trying to add a tabbaritem with icon from fontawesome and it is working good.

But i need to add also a text.. icon with a simple text.

    tbi1.Initialize(Chr(0xF1D7),Null,Null)
        tbi1.SetFont(Font.CreateNew2("FontAwesome", 35))
        tbi1.SetTitleOffset(0, 0)
        pg.TabBarItem = tbi1

Your "icon" is not a bitmap. If you do not want to make png files, you can use a function, which converts a text to bitmap.
A sample is attached.

Try it with:

tbi1.Initialize(Chr(0xF1D7) & " abcde",Null,Null)

I had tried that, but it makes the text too big, because of the size required for the icon.
It would be to put a text with different sources, but I don't know if it's possible.
