I have some code that places text onto my MultiCharts screen as signals. I want to make the text BOLD. I looked in the TS EL books and there seems to be every text command except that one. Anyone have a clue?

TIA

Text_SetAttribute

Sets an attribute of the text in a text object with the specified ID number;
returns a value of 0 if the attribute was successfully set,
and a value of -2 if the specified object ID number is invalid.

The following text attributes can be set: border, bold, italic, strike-out, and underline.

Usage

Text_SetAttribute(ObjectID, Attribute, LogicalExpression)


Parameters

ObjectID - a numerical expression specifying the object ID number

Attribute - a numerical expression specifying the attribute:

0 - border
1 - bold
2 - italic
3 - strike-out
4 - underline

LogicalExpression - a logical value; True = on and False = off


Note

An object-specific ID number is returned by Text_New when the text object is created.


Example

Set the attribute "bold" to on for the text in a text object with the ID number of 3:

Value1 = Text_SetAttribute(3, 1, True );
