    Posted: 23 June 2008 at 1:35pm

I am trying to "bold" the active item in a group.  The items are of type link and when I set the bold property, it appears to "mess up" the animation/hot tracking.  For example, once I bold the active item, the underline is now permanant on the item.  When I hover over and off of the item, the underline does not appear and then disappear, rather it is always present. I have tried playing with redraw, but still cannot seem to solve the issue. Ideas?

Hi,
 
Add wndTaskPanel.Reposition after you change font.

Here is my code:
 
    Static bTaskSemaphore As Boolean
    Static oLastItem As TaskPanelGroupItem
        
    'lock the redraw
    tskMain.LockRedraw = True
        
    'unbold last item
    If Not oLastItem Is Nothing Then oLastItem.Font.Bold = False
        
    'set the font to bold
    Item.Font.Bold = True
   
    'unlock the redraw
    tskMain.LockRedraw = False
   
    'set the last item
    Set oLastItem = Item
   
    tskMain.Reposition

This does not work for me, do you see something off here?

hm.
I opened our TaskPanel sample, add same code:
 

Private Sub wndTaskPanel_HotItemChanged()
       
    Dim Item As TaskPanelItem
    Set Item = wndTaskPanel.HotItem
   
    'lock the redraw
    wndTaskPanel.LockRedraw = True
       
    'unbold last item
    If Not oLastItem Is Nothing Then oLastItem.Font.Bold = False
       
    'set the font to bold
    If Not Item Is Nothing Then Item.Font.Bold = True
   
    'unlock the redraw
    wndTaskPanel.LockRedraw = False
   
    'set the last item
    Set oLastItem = Item
   
    wndTaskPanel.Reposition
 
End Sub
 
added wndTaskPanel.EnableAnimation = True
 
and all look fine. Check it with our sample.

Hi Oleg,
 
Ok, this is very odd, I pasted your code into your sample as well and it still does not work (underline is always present).  I am trying to get this to work in the ItemClick event and as a note, I am using the trial version of this control if that has anything to do with it.

All work as expected - you set Font that is Underline and Bold.

Here code you can use instead:
 
'unbold last item
    If Not oLastItem Is Nothing Then oLastItem.Bold = False
   
    'set the font to bold
    Item.Bold = True

Ah, that's it! So what is the difference between Item.Font.Bold and Item.Bold?

Hi,
With Item.Font.Bold  you set custom Font for item - same as
 
Dim fnt as New StdFont
fnt.Bold = True
Set item.Font = fnt

@griswald88

since your issue has been solved. would you be kind enough to edit the title to previous title + SOLVED so as not to confuse other users that this thread has not been solved.

i dont know but in some other forums that i am a member of, i can just easily mark my thread as SOLVED. is this possible here? oleg and colleagues?

this could make our forum easier to read, i believe.
