Change font size of table box in report

YannickF — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 18:10:01 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to change the font size of a table box that I generate inside a report. Is there such a function? I tried

<< Set Font Size (8)

but that doesn't seem to work...

Thanks!

You can search (filter) the view in the Scripting Index. This filter shows that the Display Boxes that respond to the << Set Font Size() message is limited:

A Table Box does not include this message in its protocol. This sample script shows how it works with some of these display boxes:

Names Default to Here( 1 );

New Window( "Font Playground",
	Outline Box( "Text All Over the Place",
		tb = Text Box( "Hello, world!" ),
		teb = Text Edit Box( "Hello, world!" ),
		scb = String Col Box( "Message", { "Hello, world!" } ),
	)
);

Wait( 3 );

{ tb, teb, scb } << Set Font Size( 18 );

You'll need to use the col box display box inside of a table box to set the font size.

Names Default to Here( 1 );

New Window( "Col Box Font Size",
	table box(
		scb = Col Box( "Message")
	)
);

tb = {};
text_list = {"Hello, world!", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Return to sender"};
for (i = 1, i <= nitems(text_list), i++,
	tb[i] = text box(text_list[i]);
	tb[i] << set font size(12);
	scb << append(tb[i]);
);
