possible to concatenate a word with DIFFERENT font in dynamic text field?

[sethwb]

Hello.

I have a submit button that I'm pulling in from XML.

It needs to be XML because it is translated.

Therefore... the length is varying depending on the language.

I simply want to add an arrow to the end of the word using Webdings #4 (it looks like a solid arrow, not like > but solid)...

Is this the best way to do this? What are my options?

Why don't you create a second textfield with the second font and place it behind the first one?

Well as I just stated the length of the first text field is dynamic. For english it might be just "Submit" for spanish, "presentar" or chinese "提交"..

If I just do it that way the arrow will appear at the far end of the text field (not at the end of the word for shorter translations).

It looks like crap when you have an arrow floating around all on its own.

Maybe I am not understanding - are you saying that putting a text field at the end of the other one it will automatically adjust its position right next to the end of the word. If that is possible please share!

You cannot have more than one font in a textfield simultanously. You can only change the font of a textfield dynamically. If you have a textfield with a fixed width and adjust the text to the right end, the distance between the end of a word and the arrow in the next textfield will always be the same.

If you don't want that and stay with autosize of a textfield, then you can measure the width of the textfield and adding this to the x-position. Then you can adjust the second textfield accordingly every time the text changes.

Ok I'll give it a shot. Thanks C
