Italic

Italic specifies whether the weight of the text font must have a slope.

Theme property filter XML code:

<PropertyName>Italic</PropertyName>

</PropertyPath>

</SetProperty>

</DoStyleAction>

Possible values:

true, false

Default value:

specified by SystemTheme.css

Influence and behavior:

This property changes the font slope:

default runtime appearance
property set in theme
resulting runtime appearance

By setting the Bold property to the whole application (= without filters), you change the appearance of window elements like toolbar buttons or messages invoked by fgl_winmessage().

At runtime, you can use css styles to change the font slope for the element:

.qx-identifier-myid .qx-text {

font: bold italic 25px "Courier New";

}

At runtime, you can use ui method - <var>.Italic() - to change the font slope for the element.

For this purpose, you must

define a variable of the ui.Font data type,
apply <var>.Italic() to this variable, and
apply the font to the form element by the <var>.setFont() method:

DEFINE fnt ui.Font

...

LET fnt.Italic=TRUE

...

CALL lb.SetFont(fnt)

<var>.Italic() method can be applied only if you specify the font size implicitly.

If you do not specify the font size implicitly, the ui.Form object will have 0 size (and no text will be visible).

You can find examples of how to use the <var>.Italic() method here and in the example program.
