Set Bold in Text Object

[nicolett_yuri]

Hello everybody, I have a text object that acts as a button, this object has the function to set the variable test = 1. I would do the following: When this object is clicked, the variable is set to test = 1 and the text written in this text to bold.

I tried using the expression: if (test = 1, '<B>') but the displayed text is not shown in bold. I can understand that this is not possible, since I'm in this expression by setting font color (font tab). Is there a way to pass this expression and the text in the text object be as bold?

PS: I do not want to use macro to do this.

Sorry my english :S

I'm not sure you can do this with an expression in the text object, another choice is to create two text objects in the same place, same size etc, one is bold the other is not bold. The one that is bold should have a conditional show expresstion (in the layout tab) as test=1 and the second object that is not showing bold text should have a conditional show expression such as test<>1.

I thought of something, but I would avoid duplication of objects.

Thank you for the tip!

I think creating two objects is a good idea, otherwise, you have to create a macro fro changing the text properties.

You can change the font color using expression, which may be used to create something similar to a bolding effect. For example:

if(test=0,lightgray(),black())
