How to use custom font size in MobiAccess

The Code:

class : Form
{
    private function Init() : Void;
    public CI()
    {
        super();
        this.Init();
    }
    Init
    {
        var label  : Label = Label.CI();
        this.AddControl(label);
        label.SetText("hello");       
        var fontSize : Object = 50;
        label.SetFont(Font.CI(EFontFace.DEFAULT, [EFontSize]fontSize, false, false, false));
        label.SetPosition(LTWHPos.CI(0.0,300.0, 200.0,100.0));
        return;
    }   
}

Instead of using one of the values of the enum EfontSize (MEDIUM, LARGE, SMALL), we can use a little trick to create our own font size object with, let us say, a font size of 50:

var fontSize : Object = 50;

then with this parameter we call the SetFont method, cast on the appropriate type:

label.SetFont(Font.CI(EFontFace.DEFAULT, [EFontSize]fontSize, false, false, false));

The FontSize object has to be drawn into a variable, because the [EFontSize][Object]fontSize casting trick does not work (I also tried it that way first :) )

Anyone finds out about this, I wasn’t the one who told you. :)
