My users would like the ability to bold some of the text within data entry text boxes. Is there a way to do this? Thanks :-)

View Full Version : bolding text within a text box Stewart 12-15-2000, 07:38 AM My users would like the ability to bold some of the text within data entry text boxes. Is there a way to do this? Thanks :-) Fornatian 12-15-2000, 11:36 PM No, there isn't a way to format text in parts of a text box because the formatting is applied to the form field not the text. The only way I can think to get round it would be either have a separate form field with the bolded info in OR Have a switch(yes/no) field which a user can turn on and off. Yes=Bold No=Normal. Put the Yes/No field on the form and in the OnCurrent event test the value and take the appropriate formatting action; If Me.CheckBold= True Then Me.Number.FontBold = True Else Me.Number.FontBold = False End If At the end of the day there isn't an easy solution. I think in an earlier mail(in the last two weeks) there was a similar question which referred to the use of RichTextFormat text boxes - I think maybe it was Mike Gurman who said that - try and find that post and you may find a better answer. |
