FormLib: where is it and how do I add it to my app?

[wdegler]

I have some libraries in my app's lib list though they are not in use. I don't remember how they got there. However I want to set font types and styles. My question is then

FormLib: where is this library and how do I add it to my app?

I think FormLib is a PPC lib.

You can set up fonts and styles using Typeface, here is an example of loading an external font into a Typeface object and setting it to be used on a label:

MyFont = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("BigFont.ttf")
lblHeader.Typeface = MyFont

Thanks for the info, but ...

Thanks for the info, but for now, perhaps my needs may be met by something like

Lbl.TypeFace=TypeFace.DEFAULT_BOLD or
Lbl.TypeFace=TypeFace.SERIF.

Do I need to use LoadFromAssets for an external font to have both at once?
Designer allows for both at once.

You need to combine the values with OR:

Lbl.TypeFace= Bit.Or (TypeFace.DEFAULT_BOLD,typeface.SERIF)

I tried your Bit.Or statement but ...

I think this may be in the right direction but I get an unspecified error when I use this statement. I have only been able to use Bit.Or when the parameters are integers. These parameters don't seem to convert (from TypeFace type) to integers. Is there something I'm missing?

The above example is wrong. Typeface is not an integer.
You should use:

lbl.Typeface = Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.SERIF, Typeface.STYLE_BOLD)

This works!

This works! Thank you for your help.

My apologies - I made a mess of that one :sign0013:
