How do I set an EditText View to Italic

        Dim dfe As EditText
        dfe.Initialize("DateField")
        dfe.SingleLine = True
        If dateEntered = False Then
            dfe.Typeface = ??? 'What do I put here?  Typeface.STYLE_ITALIC doesn't work
            dfe.TextColor = 0xFF696969
        Else
                
        End If
