InstrumentSelector Control Not Respecting FontSize

[jeronymite]

The InstrumentSelector control appears to ignore setting of FontSize. No matter what font size I set, the control always has the same size text. This applies when trying to set the property in XAML or code behind.

I presume the control should respect FontSize setting? If so, can anyone confirm this is a bug ... or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

Thank you for the post.

How are you trying to set the font size on the control? This may be a situation where you need to set the nested text controls font size rather than the instrument selector directly. This could also relate to the controls default style being applied, replacing your modification. You could try setting the style to null to check that. I am otherwise not aware of a specific example of changing the font for this control which I could link to, if you have a sample you want to upload of what you are trying we can try to work with that to resolve the question.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks, Jesse.

The code is part of an Addon and is very simple, of the following in nature in code behind ...

private InstrumentSelector instSelector = new InstrumentSelector();
instSelector.FontSize = 42;

... or in XAML ...

<tools:InstrumentSelector x:Name="instSelector" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" FontSize="42"/>

I have tried both approaches without success. The font remains stubbornly the same, small size. Here is a screenshot of the control in situ with a TextBlock above it.



Hope this is enough to pursue the issue, but let me know if there's anything else I can add/do.

Thanks, as always, for your very kind assistance!

Interestingly, I've just noticed that IntervalSelector also does not honour FontSize.

Grateful for further advice on both these.

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

Thank you for the reply.

I tried changing the font here however I was unable to see a change. This is likely being applied from the controls this uses to build the menu and their styles. I tried setting the overall instrument selectors style to null however there was no change to the menu item being shown.

Are you trying to increase just your addons font size or have this applied across the platform? This may be something that could be controlled in the skin however this may also affect other controls as the instrument selector is made up of a collection of WPF controls.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks, Jesse. Always grateful for your assistance and insights.

I'm adding these two selector types to an Addon. I simply attempt to change FontSize and find it does not change, as you also have seen.

As supported controls for Addons, it would be appropriate for them to honour changes to the standard control properties. I hope this can be rectified and the controls made capable of honouring changes to standard control properties.

Thanks.
