Bolding - Ramsey - 23-05-2008
How do I make the text blt in bold? And how do i make the texts in text boxes bold?
Re: Bolding - Pbcrazy - 23-05-2008
well for a text box i believe you just put
Code:
txtBox.FontBold = Truebut if your planning on using it for a chat system i would suggest switching it to a richtext box instead, that allows for colors and such.
as for blt i have no clue
Re: Bolding - Pbcrazy - 23-05-2008
ok just took a look at the AddText sub. that would be very easy to put in. all you have to do is add this
Code:
frmMirage.txtChat.SelBold = Truebut other wise idk.

Bolding is easy.
Code:
Public Sub DrawText(ByVal hdc As Long, _
ByVal X, _
ByVal Y, _
ByVal Text As String, _
Color As Long, _
Optional ByVal Bold As Boolean = False)
SelectObject hdc, GameFont
SetBkMode hdc, vbTransparent
SetTextColor hdc, Color
If Bold Then
TextOut hdc, X - 1, Y, Text, Len(Text)
TextOut hdc, X + 1, Y, Text, Len(Text)
TextOut hdc, X, Y - 1, Text, Len(Text)
TextOut hdc, X, Y + 1, Text, Len(Text)
End If
TextOut hdc, X, Y, Text, Len(Text)
End SubYou can still keep the normal DrawText around, but if you want to do something bold then just do DrawText(blahblah, True).
Not sure how it would look...probably really hard to read (depending on font).

Is that the only way to do it? I looks really crappy when I do it.
Thanks Pbcrazy, that did the trick.
Re: Bolding - Rezeyu - 24-05-2008
Wouldn't.. it be easier to just CreateFont with a bold setting?
o.O
Re: Bolding - Robin - 24-05-2008
Lmao GIAKEN, that's some stroke effect code.
For the font, go to the top of GameLoop, where it should show the font name in quotations.
Still within the quotations afters the font name, simply add 'Bold'.

Re: Bolding - GIAKEN - 26-05-2008
Well I don't do what I posted, because I don't use Bold...but I just put that together because I read that the default font MS uses doesn't support bold...
Re: Bolding - Rezeyu - 26-05-2008
You can stil lset it to bold, I think bold is like.. 700, and Italic is 400.
