How to change font

[bubblegum]

I'd be grateful for some help in doing something very simple. All I want to do is change the font size after I have created a text object.

I've tried a variety of code. This code, for example, gives me a compile error "use of unassigned local variable 'mytag'"

 
IText mytag;
 
 
if (Highs[1][0] >= 900) mytag = DrawText(tag, "up", 0, Highs[0][0], tagBlack);
 
if (Lows[1][0] <= -900) mytag = DrawText(tag, "dn", 0, Lows[0][0], tagBlack);
 
mytag.Font = new Font("Arial", 12);

If I remove the last line (which I need to change the font size) then it compiles OK.

Thanks

Hi bubblegum,

Have you tried declaring the variable first? Something like...
In the variables region...
Font mytag;

then...
mytag = new Font("Arial", 12);

Thanks for the post Tim -- I needed to do the same as bubblegum. Your suggestion works perfectly.
