fontItalic

Type: Boolean

Availability: Read or write at any time

The fontItalic property of the JadeSkinControl class specifies whether the font style of the control skin is italics. This property is defined for all subclasses of the JadeSkinControl class, but it has no meaning in some cases. For example, a ScrollBar control has no text, and therefore the font is not relevant.

The settings for the fontItalic property are listed in the following table.

Value Description
true Turns on the italic formatting
false Turns off the italic formatting (the default)

Use the fontItalic property to format text in a control skin, either in the JADE development environment or at run time by using logic.

If the fontName property is null (the default), the control continues to use its own defined font. The skin font is ignored by any control that has its own defined font unless the skin of the control has been set by using the Control class setSkin method.

The font uses the application font if the fontName property for the control skin is set to Default during painting or to an empty string at run time. The fonts that are available in JADE vary, according to your system configuration, display devices, and printing devices.
