I can't change MessageDialog font

can  I only create a Dialog scene?

Hi lydotnet,

You cannot change the font applied to a MessageDialog straight out of the box, however an alternative way to change the font from the displayed text is to leave the Title and Message properties empty and use your own Labels on the MessageDialog. You can then apply your own font to the Label. I have pasted an example below.

MessageDialog diag = new MessageDialog();
diag.SetSize(400f, 300f);

Font my_font = new Font("/Application/pirulen.ttf", 23, FontStyle.Regular);

Label my_title = new Label();
my_title.Text = "My Title";
my_title.Font = my_font;
my_title.SetPosition(10, 20);
my_title.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
my_title.SetSize(diag.Width - 10, 30);

Label my_message = new Label();
my_message.Text = "Message text";
my_message.Font = my_font;
my_message.SetPosition(25, 100);
my_message.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
my_message.SetSize(diag.Width - 25, 30);


diag.AddChildLast(my_message);
diag.AddChildLast(my_title);
diag.Show();

To have just a dialog scene, you can call the SetSize() method of the Dialog and then make it the size of the whole screen, if this is what you are after. You can then listen in to the users response, and then move onto another scene from there. 

Thanks

thank you for your post

and i find another way to  solve the problem

public class ShowMessage  {

  public ShowMessage ()   {      }  

    public static void Show(MessageDialogStyle style,string title,string message)   {  

      MessageDialog test = new MessageDialog ();   

   test.Message = message;    

test.Style = style;   

 test.Title = title;

   foreach (Sce.Pss.HighLevel.UI.Widget temp in test.Children) {    

      if (temp is Label) {     

 ((Label)temp).Font = new Font ("/Application/font/msyh.ttf", 25, FontStyle.Regular);    

       }    

 if (temp is ScrollPanel) {

     foreach (Sce.Pss.HighLevel.UI.Widget temp2 in ((ScrollPanel)temp).Children) {

      if (temp2 is Label) {    

    ((Label)temp2).Font = new Font ("/Application/font/msyh.ttf", 25, FontStyle.Regular);    

         }   

   }

    }     

         }   

 test.Show();    

      }

    }
