Examples

  1. This formula, when added to the "Set font size" hotspot button, first sets focus to the "Body" Rich Text field, then applies the font size the user specifies in the "size" text field to the text in the Body field. If no size was selected, an error displays telling the user to enter one.
    @Command([EditGoToField];"Body");
@Command([EditSelectAll]);
result := @Command([TextSetFontSize];size);
@If(@IsError(result);Prompt([Ok];"Error encountered";"You must enter a font size first");result)
