Item Font/Animation - RESOLVED

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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?

	@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.
