Changing font size

[ScottWGast]

I don't have Teamviewer, but I have used GotoMeeting in the past with you guys...

I think I have to wait a little bit anyway, my internet connection has been very erratic this morning and I'm trying to get the internet provider to fix it...

In the mean time, I will see if I can put together a little demo of the problem.

Hi ScottWGast,

I can send you my test demo for you check.

UPDATE: attached test project.

Best Regards.

Alexander,

Thanks for your little test project. As expected, I was unable to duplicate the problem... I will dig around in my code and see if I can figure out why it's happening in my code and not in the simple demo code.

Thanks again.

Hey Alexander,

I've figured out why the .Font.Size does / does not render correctly!

If Font.Enabled is set to True while in the IDE, then changing the .Font.Size does not work...

I've attached a modified CGFrame.pas/.dfm that demonstrates the issue.

Thanks!

Hi ScottWGast,

In your case, you need typecast the container to affect the inner control.

delphi code

procedure TIWCGJQFrame5.SetEditFont(Container: TIWCGJQContainer; Parent: TWinControl);
begin
  Container.Parent := Parent;
  Container.StyleRenderOptions.RenderFont := True;
  if Container is TIWCGJQCustomEdit then
  begin
    TIWCGJQCustomEdit(Container).Font.Enabled := True;
    TIWCGJQCustomEdit(Container).Font.Size := 20;
  end;
end;

Same procedure to MemoEx & SpinEdit.

Best Regards.

Alexander,

Yes, that is what I ended up doing before I figured out that if I set the Font.Enabled = False in the IDE and set .Font.Enabled = True at runtime the .Font.Size was updatable at runtime. I'm not sure why if the .Font.Enabled = True in the IDE, the .Font.Size (on the Edit, for example) does not render a new .Font.Size at runtime.

Anyway, it's all figured out!

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

I'm not sure why if the .Font.Enabled = True in the IDE, the .Font.Size (on the Edit, for example) does not render a new .Font.Size at runtime.

Try to set Font.Enabled = True and Font.Size = 15 in the IDE, works as expected.

Best Regards.

Alexander,

Yes, if I set both the .Font.Enabled = True and the .Font.Size = 15 in the IDE, it works as expected.

The issue is that I need to set the .Font.Size at runtime... so if the .Font.Enabled is set to True in the IDE, then setting the .Font.Size at runtime does not work as expected (on the TIWCGJQEdit component).

Of course, all of this is true only when the TIWCGJQEdit component is cast as TIWCGJQContainer... which is what I'm doing because all of the various edit components (Edit, Checkbox, ComboBox, etc) that I'm using inherit from Container.

Hi ScottWGast,

Well, you can always check the class in your method and make typecast (as in my example).

Best Regards.
