TextBox.FontWeight property (Access)

Use the FontWeight property to specify the line width that Windows uses to display and print characters in a control. Read/write Integer.

Syntax

expression.FontWeight

expression A variable that represents a TextBox object.

Remarks

The FontWeight property uses the following settings.

Setting	Visual Basic
Thin	100
Extra Light	200
Light	300
Normal	400
Medium	500
Semi-bold	600
Bold	700
Extra Bold	800
Heavy	900

You can set the default for this property by using a control's default control style or the DefaultControl property in Visual Basic.

A font's appearance on screen and in print may differ, depending on your computer and printer. For example, a FontWeight property setting of Thin may look identical to Normal on screen but appear lighter when printed.

The FontBold property, which is available only in Visual Basic and macros, can also be used to set the line width for a control's or report's text to bold. The FontBold property gives you a quick way to make text bold; the FontWeight property gives you finer control over the line width setting for text. The following table shows the relationship between these properties' settings.

If	Then
FontBold = False	FontWeight = Normal (400)
FontBold = True	FontWeight = Bold (700)
FontWeight < 700	FontBold = False
FontWeight > = 700	FontBold = True
