Font support in SDB.UI controls does not work BUG#5258

[refrancoeur]

In testing 3.1, I found that, although font properties are now supported, they do not seem to work. Try the following jscript:

var form = SDB.UI.newForm;
var label = SDB.UI.newLabel(form);

TRACE("-Before: "+label.Common.FontBold);
label.Common.FontBold = true;
TRACE("-After: "+label.Common.FontBold);

TRACE("-Before: "+label.Common.FontSize);
label.Common.FontSize = 32;
TRACE("-After: "+label.Common.FontSize);

You should see that the assignments do not work. In 3.0 the assignments resulted in an error, in 3.1 no error occurs, but the assignments are ineffective.

Also, when I assign a hotkey to a js script, the invocation from the hotkey assumes that the script is vb and fails. The problem does not occur when invoking the script from the tools menu. This problem also existed in release 3.0.

1. Can you please test it in a VBScript to see if it has the same problem?

2. Seems like a bug. I'll report it when we know how issue 1. works.

I could confirm this. It doesn't work with VBScript either.

Thank you ZvezdanD!

Do you know if the other new Common-properties work or not?

[ZvezdanD]

What other Common properties? If you mean on another Font properties, I tried FontName, FontItalic and FontColor and they don't work either.

The meant the ones that Jiri added recently:

I'll add a report to Mantis!

Was it in 1218 you did the test?

[ZvezdanD]

1220 - FontSize still doesn't work. FontName, FontBold, FontItalic, FontColor are OK.

[ZvezdanD]

Well, mentioned properties (FontName, FontBold, FontItalic, FontColor) are OK only with the Label control. The Checkbox, Edit, Dropdown and probably all another controls still don't support those properties.
