style(kEscStyle,?,?)

[IT]

Hi Misha, 

I think that style is for style (bold,italic,etc) but not for changing the font.
I’m using style() function in my reports. Some code samples look this in my reports:


Calculate lvTitulo2 as con(style(kEscStyle;kBold);'Periodo: ';style(kEscStyle;kPlain);pRow.f1;style(kEscStyle;kBold);' hasta ';style(kEscStyle;kPlain);pRow.f2)


Do ivFT.$add(con(style(kEscStyle;kItalic);ivCa.CAR_LINEA1;pick(isclear(ivCa.CAR_LINEA1);' ';'');ivCa.CAR_LINEA2;': ';style(kEscStyle;kPlain);ivCa.VCAR_VALOR;ivCa.VCAR_SIMBOLO;pick(ivCa.CAR_NUMERICO;'';jst(ivCa.LACA_VALORNUM;con('N';ivCa.CAR_DECIMALES)));' ';ivCa.UNCA_SIMBOLO;pick(isclear(ivCa.UNCA_SIMBOLO);'.';'')))


There are some tech notes that will help you in this matter.

And StudioTips speaks a little about style()

Meanwhile it turned out that it is not suitable for my purpose - using a different font (e.g. Open Sans instead of Omnis System) as headline in the text run, so I did another approach that works but is not so elegant ;)

Does anybody maybe know how to use style(EscStyle,?,?) and if it is possible to change the font for some parts of the text?
