Bold, Italic, Size, StrikeThrough, Underline, Weight Properties Example

The following example demonstrates a Font object and the Bold, Italic, Size, StrikeThrough, Underline, and Weight properties related to fonts. You can manipulate font properties of an object directly or by using an alias, as this example also shows.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:

• A Label named Label1.
• Four ToggleButton controls named ToggleButton1 through ToggleButton4.
• A second Label and a TextBox named Label2 and TextBox1.
