-- create a simple Window
local win = ui.Window("Entry.fontstyle sample", 320, 200)
local entry = ui.Entry(win, "LuaRT", 100, 100)
-- create a combobox
local cb = ui.Combobox(win, { "bold", "italic", "underline", "heavy", "thin" }, 104, 30)
cb.selected = cb.items[5]
-- change entry.fontstyle upon selection
function cb:onSelect(item)
entry.fontstyle = { [item.text] = true }
end
entry.font = "Times New Roman"
entry.fontsize = 24
