Note that changes to a TextFormat object returned by getTextFormat() do not have any
effect on the text of
theField until the object is applied with setTextFormat(). For example,
on its own, the following assignment of the
font property has no effect on theField_txt:
allCharsFormat.font = "Courier New";
But when we add a call to setTextFormat(), the change is applied:
theField_txt.setTextFormat(allCharsFormat); // Applies the "Courier New" font
// to the whole text field
Don’t confuse getNewTextFormat() with getTextFormat(); the former retrieves the format
used for text that will be added to
theField in the future, while the latter retrieves the
format for characters already in
theField.
For a detailed description of TextFormat objects, see the TextFormat class entry.
