Title: How to use expression changing the font property of certain words within string
Post by: sheng lihao on April 13, 2011, 07:08:28 AM

I need to make certain words within a string to be bold and underlined. How can I do it without separating those words from other string and make them in the same word box/word wrap box.

Can I set the font property of a string dynamically using expression? and how?

Did you try using the HTML box as it provides a good way to produce attributed text? The style properties on WORDBOX, WORDWRAPBOX apply to the entire content so that that is not possible to display mixed content with a single instance of these objects. You would have to break the text into chunks and set the properties on the individual chunks.

The HTML Box was introduced into GRW in 2.30 https://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-gst-manual-html/configurations/User/NewFeatures.html#Report_Writer
