MultiFont Property

Syntax

set the multiFont of <field> to <boolean> Applies to fields

Description

When set to true, the multiFont property allows fields to contain multiple text fonts, colors, sizes, and styles.

Notes

If a field's multiFont property is set to true, information about that field's text properties is stored only during the current session. Thus, if the multiFont property is set to false in a future session, the field will assume the default text characteristics of a newly created field.

Examples

set the multiFont of fld "test" to true Note that the contents of the field assume the font named in the field's textFont property. Try selecting text in the field and changing the font again. Do the same for other words or parts of words, and experiment with color, size, and style. Finally, enter the following line in the Message Box and press Return: set the multiFont of fld "test" to false
