Hi Paul, I'd recommend you to read carefully and execute the samples from this blog post:
"Be more productive with GdiPlusX" http://weblogs.foxite.com/cesarchalom/archive/2006/12/14/3003.aspx There you'll find many tips that will help you to know what are the available method and properties for all classes using Intellisense. Do that and a new world will appear to you ! Anyway, here are my answers: 1 - Am I right, or is there a way to define loFont and subsequently change its style (bold and/or italic) ? Unfortunately not. You'll have to redefine, or recreate your font object. LOCAL loFont as xfcFont loFont = .Font.New("Verdana", 24, .FontStyle.BoldItalic) 2 - How would I go about setting the font color (i.e. the pen color) to an arbitrary color obtained using GETCOLOR() ? Here are many ways for you to play with brushes and colors: LOCAL loBrush as xfcSolidBrush loBrush = .Brushes.Red loBrush = .SolidBrush.New(.Color.Blue) loBrush = .SolidBrush.New(.Color.FromRgb(RGB(255,0,128))) loBrush = .SolidBrush.New(.Color.FromArgb(128,255,0,128)) LOCAL loColor as xfcColor loColor = _SCREEN.SYSTEM.Drawing.Color.FromRgb(255,0,0) LOCAL loBrush as xfcSolidBrush loBrush = _SCREEN.SYSTEM.Drawing.SolidBrush.New() loBrush.Color = loColor loBrush.Color = _SCREEN.SYSTEM.Drawing.Color.FromRgb(GETCOLOR()) loBrush = _SCREEN.SYSTEM.Drawing.SolidBrush.New(loColor) Hope This helps Cesar ---------- Início da mensagem original ----------- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Data: Mon, 16 Jul 2007 13:57:34 +0100 Assunto: GDIPlusX questions > Hi all > > I am using DrawString like this > > oGfx.DrawString("Text to draw", loFont, loBlackBrush, x, y) > > loFont has been defined using loFont = .Font.New("Arial",10,0) > > So far so good.
