How to Display Dynamic Variables in Bold within a Textbox

BabyDoragon — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 11:33:25 GMT

When using a Textbox, we can make words bold like the 'Test' text in the JSL below. However, if I want to display a dynamic variable in bold as well, how can I achieve that?

Variable = "Apple";
New Window( "test",
	Text Box( "<b>Test</b>", <<Markup ),
	Text Box( Variable ),
	Text Box( "<b>Variable</b>", <<Markup ),

);

The place to look for this information is the Scripting Index

Help=>Scripting Index

It will give you all of the messages that can be given to the display object you are targeting(text box), along with it's description and examples of usage

For the whole text box you can do what can be found from scripting index (like Jim did show). You can also build the string with the variable evaluated to a string

Names Default To Here(1);

strvar = "Apple";

nw = New Window( "test",
	Text Box(Eval Insert("no-bold <b>^strvar^</b> no-bold"), <<Markup)
);
