Hi,
I'm trying to build my first little application in Revolution on Mac OS X. It uses styled text, and I have the font type/size/colour/style available in drop-down menus. However, I'd quite like to have a separate window that copied the typical Apple Cocoa font setting dialog, which has a font and size list, a size field and a preview of the result. I have created a separate card within my application that does this, but I'm struggling with how to take the font choices from this card and apply them back to the main card.
The main card has the field "edtText" which is where the styled text is. On the secondary card, I set gFontName and gFontSize to hold the font name and size, as determined by the users choice from the various fields. What I have tried is:
set textFont of field "edtText" of card id 1002 of stack "Text Change" to tFontName set textSize of field "edtText" of card id 1002 of stack "Text Change" to tFontSize
(I'd like to just do this with the selectedChunk, but I'm taking it a step at a time!). This doesn't have any effect on the text in the field. I'm guessing that my syntax is wrong, but I wondered if anyone was able to help?
Try: set textFont of char 1 to -1 of fld....... (char -1 = last char) set textSize of char 1 to -1 of fld....... set textStyle of char 1 to -1 of fld.......
For these 3 text attributes you can set the attributes for chunks, whereas for textHeight you just set it for the whole field.
Hope this helps
