Example CharacterStyle Functions

This example shows how to change the style for a block of text. In this case, we are changing the word 'text' to Bold, 12pt

fmx::TextAutoPrt myText;
fmx::CharacterStyleAutoPtr myStyle;

 
myStyle->SetFace( fmx::CharacterStyle::kFace_Bold );

myStyle->SetSize( 12 );


myText->Assign("This is the text to change");

myText->SetStyle( *myStyle , 12, 4 );

output will be "This is the text to change"
