Hello
So far I could change the font size by all used item in my Desktop application by:
Item.FontSize = <size>
Now I have added a DesktopSearchField and tried to set the font size the same way but that leads to an error message, same for (older) class SearchField. Why can I change the font size on every other item but not for the search field or am I doing anything wrong?
Regards
There is no font size properties for those controls. You’ll have to open a ticket requesting they add support.
Thank you for the quick answer. I feared the same, Funny it was not implemented from start.
No need to open a ticket: Issue #65933: DesktopSearchField missing ability to select font (created September 2021)
And another related one: Issue #62860: DateTimePicker: Font Settings (created November 2020)
I hope this reminds Xojo to please do that for all their newer controls… which all still feel half-baked (in my opinion)… to finish and polish them (*), so they get useable somewhen (soon).
At least I can’t use them as they are now.
(*) even if the issue reports on those controls don’t have hundreds of “thumbs up”
Thank you for the update. Tbh I wouldn’t have created a new ticket. I know how they lay around for years and often don’t get considered. I was surprised too as this is just a default attribute for every GUI control.
Xojo has everyone scared to voice their opinions, even though we’re all sharing the same feeling.
In my opinion, they’ve demonstrated far too often how little they care about our opinions. They constantly act as if they know better than us and ignore our reports. Only very critical errors and changes that they can implement in five minutes are addressed. At least, that’s how it feels. Actually, despite the recent changes, it feels more like stagnation than progress. But that’s just my opinion and my feeling.
