Re: Italic text within fields on Mac OS

[dunbarx via use-livecode]

This may call for a discussion, a dedicated lesson maybe, especially for
newbies, about the difference between setting the textStyle of actual text
within a field as opposed to the field itself. It touches on inheritance.

But I bet that many have struggled with what they see as impossible or at
least inconsistent results when they set text properties either "globally"
or with actual selected text within a field/\.

Hi Richmond,

It works just fine here.
I’m using LiveCode 8.1.3
in MacOS Sierra.

I was able to do it both manually and programatically.
Here’s the code.

on mouseUp
set the textStyle of field "TextField1" of this card to italic

put "Hi there" into field "TextField1" of this card

end mouseUp

Good luck!

Rick
