It DOES work for OSX universal executables.

RB2009r3 under Windows Vista, works fine for me. What font are you using? EDIT: Nevermind, you're right. I set the size within the IDE... it does not work when set via code. My apologizes. Actually, I couldn't get BOLD, ITALIC, UNDERLINE... nothing to work. Even tried changing text color via code. _________________ Respectfully, Eric D.

I guess I could go back to the deprecated editField, but that would also be a royal PITB to fix the underlying methods that were automatically switched to textFields by RB 2009 r3 For now, I'm letting the Mac builds have full features while the PC version is stuck without the prettier window layouts.

Textcolor is working (unlike what I previously stated)... I just had rgb(50,50,50) which was too similar to black to tell (lol, I'm blind). Anyhow, it just appears that everything under the "Font" category of the properties is not working. EDIT: And, alignment isn't working... probably more (I'm too tired to try every one). _________________ Respectfully, Eric D.

Is it possible that TextFields aren't supposed to have any formatting, period? IIRC from the 2009r3 release notes, TextFields were supposed to be unformatted while TextAreas were supposed to be formatted... could this possibly be intended behavior? (DON'T laugh - I'm still using 2008r5.1 so I have no idea what goes on in 2009r3...) _________________ With great power comes great responsibility.
