Font size and user form

Hello,
I'd like to know if somebody find a solution for the font size issue on user form.
since BO 2005, the user can change the font size. the application will format all the controls of form with the good size.
However, the layout does not follow very well for user form.
If the font size is changed while a user form is open, the aplication will reformat it perfectly, the controls are bigger, and the distance between the controls are ok
But when the user form is open again, it keeps the distance and control size of the XML file but change the font size, so the layout is very bad, sometime the static text or the caption could not be read, so it's not possible to use the form as is.
I use XML to create form, I haven't try by code, but in my case, I can't use code because there are a lot of controls in the form.
Any idea if it's possible to call the Business One procedure to resize the form and its control (not only the font) ?
Thanks you

Try resetting the FontSize of all items (and columns) to the one you used for the design after loading the form.
I use a simple loop over all items and an inner loop for matrixes and grids to set the font size in their columns.
Now users can have a larger font, but the added forms will use the original design's font size.
This approach has some drawbacks:
- Added forms use a different font size
- Some of the controls will still get their size based on the system default font size
(checkboxes, drill-down arrays, headercolumns, perhaps more?).
- Focused item is not resized by this (so far I have been able to work around this).
- Changing the font size while the form is open, will break the design as the
font size does not change, but the control sizes do.
This is not an ideal solution, but it might give some help, until a better one presents itself.
If the users don't use a dramatically different font size, my form design work quite ok,
even with the drawbacks or at least it is better than nothing. It is a good idea to test
the form with different font sizes to make it more flexible.

PFD's -- can 'font size' and 'page formatting' be user-controlled?

Can the *font size* and *page formatting* -- including *page size* -- of a PDF document be altered for printouts?
Also, does this vary from one PDF reader to another, or is it pretty much standard?
Thanks.

Can you explain why you want to do this? There may be a solution.
One reason is that many PDF's print in a larger font than I would like. I was imagining having control of the page layout and appearance the way you do in most situations, and wondering whether PDF's could be similarly controlled by the user -- at least in those respects (I know they are not designed to be 'edited').

Font size and Colr

Here is a simple program just for demonstration.
I would like to change the font size and color of this program to SMALL and
RED respectively(when I install it in my handset, it does not fit in the screen
properly). I have tried read the Font in the midp api but am not getting it; its just talking
about I don't know Canvas and such kind of stuff.
Please could someone just help me with this program just as a demonstration
so I could know exactly how to go about it. Thanks in advance.
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
public class AddTwoNum extends MIDlet implements CommandListener
     Display display;
     Form mainForm = new Form("Summation of Numbers");
     TextField firstNum = new TextField("First Number", "", 15, TextField.NUMERIC);
     TextField secondNum = new TextField("Second Number", "", 15, TextField.NUMERIC);
     TextBox sumBox;
     Command exitCommand = new Command("Exit", Command.STOP, 1);
     Command calCommand = new Command("Calculate", Command.SCREEN, 2);
     public AddTwoNum()
     public void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException
          display = Display.getDisplay(this);
          mainForm.append(firstNum);
          mainForm.append(secondNum);
          mainForm.addCommand(exitCommand);
          mainForm.addCommand(calCommand);
          mainForm.setCommandListener(this);
          display.setCurrent(mainForm);
     public void pauseApp()
     public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional)
          notifyDestroyed();
     public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d)
          if (c == exitCommand)
               destroyApp(true);
          else if (c == calCommand)
               int first, second, sum;
               first = Integer.parseInt(firstNum.getString());
               second = Integer.parseInt(secondNum.getString());
               sum = (first + second);
               sumBox = new TextBox("Summation", "The summation is\n"+sum, 25, TextField.ANY);
               sumBox.addCommand(exitCommand);
               sumBox.setCommandListener(this);
               display.setCurrent(sumBox);
}

only StringItem supports setFont(Font) method. if you want the Font support for TextField
and TextBos, you should implements it !
or write your own CustomItem
good luck

Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?

Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2? It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar. Thanks

Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem. Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work. You can turn on "Zoom".

Hi,
Well i generate a report which has two three columns.....
1) Description
2) Column 1 for fiscal year 2009
3) Column 2 for fiscal year 2008 for comparison
Here after these columns we have unformated space as a column.
Now we tried to hide this column but the system is not allowing to hide this.
How can we remove this unformatted column/space from the print output.
Thanking you,

How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

Really frustrating to find the first time but simple once you figure it out. I think I spent hours trying to find this. Simply right click on a blank spot in the toolbar up top and select Properties Bar. There it is! The available properties will change depending on whether you have the content (text) selected or the box itself.
I haven't found a way yet to make it show up as a regular part of the toolbar. It floats around and gets in the way so I don't leave it on and then have to open it again when I need it. Again - frustrating; but at least it's there!

Pages Copy & Paste Style Buttons don't change font size and style?

Shouldn't the font size and style also be copied and pasted when I use the buttons to copy & paste the style within a page?

Hello
It seems that the description of these buttons in the Help is not clear.
After several attempts, one may understand that they don't apply to attributes inserted "by hand" with cmd + B for instance but to "styles" defined in the Styles drawer.

Can we change font size and font type in reports

Hi All Technical/Functional Masters,
We are developing some transactional reports in ISU. this report has 20 columns to be printed. On screen, display is not a problem but client has a requirement to download this report in PDF format and wants to print on A4-paper in Landscape. Although we have managed to accommodate all the columns on A4 paper but have to compromise with font size that are very small and not visible. If we download the report in excel format we are able to maintain the font size 8 and accommodate all columns after little format but same in PDF is a problem.
Can anyone tell whether we can increase the font size and change font type(from SAP standard to 'Arial') before sending the output in PDF ? Is there any property or utility that can be changed or used for this purpose.

Result : decrease space between character.   Then Your PDF will have BIGGER FONT.

A mode to change font size and bold in every page?

Due to problems described here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012057?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s I have clear that I need something (an extension, maybe) that allow me to recognize and change font size and bold of the fonts in every page.
Does exist something like this?
Maybe also for bookmarks toolbar...

Hi RichterB,
You can change this in the Content Settings of Firefox. Go to "3 bar" menu and click on Options. Click on content and uncheck "Let websites choose their own styles" and select a bold font type.
Also try [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Sytlish].
