Title: bold
Post by: killerbot on December 28, 2005, 09:57:34 pm

Implementing a feature request and in some dialog I want to show the contents of a text ctrl or a static text in bold.

Any quick way of doing that :
 - some wxSTYLE I can fill in the xrc file ??? (would prefer this)
 - function call ?

I had a similar problem a few days ago in another project using wxWidgets and solved it by creating a wxFont (http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6.2/wx_wxfont.html#wxfont) instance with the flags I needed and then I assigned this font to the control via its SetFont method. I'm not sure if there is an easier way but at least it works this way.

Thanks,

I solved it like you suggested.

Other question :
what wx... class provides for a file : date/time modification/creation, and it's size ?
