BOLD Font - Simple Question Really.

How do you make a lable have bold font at run time

label1->font->style->fsBold

is what I expected but it appears that it doesn't work

What are you using? Borland? Microsoft? MFC? API?

Borland C++ Builder 4
Thanks

I don't have BC++B...so all I can offer is: check your indirection levels. Are they all pointers?

What the error is might help.

Try this

Code:

---

HFONT f = CreateFont(13,0,0,0,FW_BOLD,0,0,0,DEFAULT_CHARSET,OUT_CHARACTER_PRECIS,CLIP_CHARACTER_PRECIS,DEFAULT_QUALITY,DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_DONTCARE,"Arial");
SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hDlg,IDC_STATIC1),WM_SETFONT,(WPARAM)f,MAKELPARAM(TRUE, 0));

---

I already have the structure

ScoreLabel40->Font->Color = clBlack;
ScoreLabel40->Font->Size = 10;

and what I want to do it make the font bold, I think it is something like

ScoreLabel40->Font->Style << fsBold;

But that doesn't work.

Thanks for your help

I've never used Borland C++, but the code i gave you uses only API so it will work for tou. Create the font then send a messsge to ScoreLabel40 to set the font.

I'm just guessing, but perhaps:

Code:

---

ScoreLabel40->Font->Style |= fsBold;

---

I'm guessing too but anyway try this:

Code:

---

ScoreLabel40->Font->Style = ScoreLabel40->Font->Style<< fsBold;
