FoX: how to set font for an FXTable item

[Yuri Leikind]

Hello all,

Is there a way to set font for a single FXTableItem ? FXTableItem does not
have an appropriate method, there is only a way to set font for the whole
FXTable, globally.

Call FXTableItem.setItem on your subclass of FXTableItem, then twiddle
to your heart's content in drawContent.

to your heart's content in drawContent.

Perhaps you meant calling FXTable.setItem on my subclass of FXTableItem?

Ok, I define my subclass of FXTableItem with drawContent :


class MyTableItem < Fox::FXTableItem
def drawContent(table, dc, x, y, w, h)

dc.setTextFont(MY_FONT)
dc.foreground = Fox::FXRGB(255, 240, 240)

super(table, dc, x, y, w, h)
end
end

and then, when creating the table:

table.setItem(i, j, MyTableItem.new("hello"))

But well, that doesn't work. Did I miss something?

Yes, my mistake, I mis-typed.

class MyTableItem < Fox::FXTableItem
def drawContent(table, dc, x, y, w, h)
dc.setTextFont(MY_FONT)
dc.foreground = Fox::FXRGB(255, 240, 240)
super(table, dc, x, y, w, h)

It looks like super() is overriding your font setting. Here's what I do:

def drawContent(table, dc, x, y, w, h)
FXDCWindow.new( table ) do |mydc|
mydc.textFont = ...
mydc.drawText(...)
end
end

Can't remember why the param dc wasn't usable and I had to do the mydc
thing, it's been a while since I was in that code...
