Solved Static Text Font/Size in Description Resource

Ogers

Hello!
I am working with Render Engine Settings and I have build my own Render Settings using Description Resource
Is there any way that I can use different fonts or style such as Italic/bold etc for the static text shown in the picture, and also change the size of it if possible. I am not finding how to do it on the documentation.
I would really appreciate if you could help me on this.
Thank you in advance!

Hi @Ogers, first of all, I wish you a happy new year.

Welcome back and thanks for your patience. There is no way to change the font property locally. This will break our UI consistency.
But I propose you 2 other solutions.

Use RegisterPluginHelpDelegate to react to the "Show help" click when an user left click on a parameter like so:

static Bool PluginsHelpDelegate(const maxon::String& opType, const maxon::String& baseType, const maxon::String& group, const maxon::String& property)
{
    if property == "SYMBOL_ID_OF_CAMERA_PARAMETER"_s:
        // A MessageDialog is shown. Instead, an URL to online or local help could be opened in a browser
        MessageDialog("Any Camera or Stereo Camera Rig can be selected......."_s)
}

// be sure to use a unique ID obtained from www.plugincafe.com
#define ID_HELPPLUGIN 1000000
RegisterPluginHelpDelegate(pluginid, PluginsHelpDelegate);

The other option can be to create a group folded by default which will only contain the static text.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Cheers,
Maxime.
