bold

Type

keyword

Summary

Used with the textStyle property to indicate boldface text.

Syntax

bold

Description

Use the bold keyword to emphasize text by presenting it in boldface.

You can boldface an object (which boldfaces all the text displayed by the object) or a chunk in a field or button.

To add boldfacing to an object without removing other styles (such as italic), add the bold keyword to the end of the textStyle. The following example adds bold to the styles of a button:

    if the textStyle of button 1 is empty then
        set the textStyle of button 1 to \"bold\"
    else
        set the textStyle of button 1 to \
            (the textStyle of button 1) & comma & \"bold\"
    end if

Examples

set the textStyle of button "Label" to bold

if the textStyle of word 3 of field "Info" is bold then go card 1
