How To Change Font of part of String in Windows 8 phone in c#

Question

Input- my name is manas.

Output- my NAME is Manas.

Is it possible in ListBox

Answer 1

A string itself doesn't have any specific font but you could put several Run elements inside a TextBlock to make a part of the text bold:

<TextBlock>
            <Run>my name is </Run>
            <Run FontWeight="Bold">Manas</Run>
        </TextBlock>

<TextBlock x:Name="txt"/>

txt.Inlines.Add(new Windows.UI.Xaml.Documents.Run() { Text = "my name is " });
txt.Inlines.Add(new Windows.UI.Xaml.Documents.Run() { Text = "Manas", FontWeight = Windows.UI.Text.FontWeights.Bold });

Hope that helps.

The easiest way to do this is probably to handle the Loaded event of the TextBlock in the ItemTemplate of the ListBox:

        <ListBox>
            <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <TextBlock x:Name="txt" Loaded="txt_Loaded"/>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        </ListBox>

private void tb_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            TextBox txt = sender as TextBox;
            txt.Inlines.Add(new Windows.UI.Xaml.Documents.Run() { Text = "my name is " });
            txt.Inlines.Add(new Windows.UI.Xaml.Documents.Run() { Text = "Manas", FontWeight = Windows.UI.Text.FontWeights.Bold });
        }

Hope that helps.
