Android Question Differences between how views are added

[agraham]

There are obvious visual differences between Buttons and ToggleButtons added when defined in the Designer and added in a layout by LoadLayout() and when initialised programmatically and added by Activity.AddView.

For both types of view the Typefaces are different but unfortunately as Typefaces are effectively write-only it is not possible to inspect the difference. However setting the Typeface of a programmatically added view to a new Typeface created by Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.STYLE_NORMAL) as the Designer does seems to match.

What I cannot match is that ToggleButton text is always capitalised on a programmatically added ToggleButton and despite poking around in Core.jar I can't see where the Designer manages to override this behaviour. Any ideas anyone?

Why does posting a question always act as a spur to finding the answer on your own - or at least in a web search?

    Dim b As ToggleButton
    b.Initialize("ToggleButton")
    Dim jo As JavaObject = b
    jo.RunMethod("setAllCaps", Array As Object( False))

I've wasted hours on this
