Controls that can display text
Description
The TextSize property specifies the point size of the text in the control.
Usage
In the painter, specify a positive value as the point size, but in scripts, specify a negative value. This is for the backward compatibility; the size is stored as a negative value; for example, 10-point text size is stored as -10.
This property does not work in MonthCalendar controls on the Windows 10/11 operating system.
In a painter
To set the size of all the text in a control:
-
Display the Font tab page of the control's Properties view and select the desired point size from the Size drop-down list, or select the control and then set the point size using the Font Size list box on the StyleBar.
To set the size of a text object in a graph control:
-
Display the Text tab page of the graph control's Properties view and select the desired text object from the Text Object list.
-
Select the desired point size from the TextSize list.
To set the size of text in a menu:
-
Display the Appearance tab page of the top-level menu object's Properties view, select contemporarymenu! from the Menu Style list, and select the desired point size from the TextSize list.
This property does not apply to menu items in the menu bar, which have a fixed size of 8 points.
In scripts
The TextSize property takes an integer value that indicates the point size. The following example sets the point size of a static text control:
st_1.TextSize = -12
This example sets the point size of the label of the Value axis of a graph control:
gr_1.Values.LabelDispAttr.TextSize = -12
