Choosing a type style
You can assign type styles on a per-widget basis. Each widget that displays text, whether as labels, data, or both, can have its own type style. Both labels and data will be displayed in the selected style; you cannot select one style for the labels and another for the data in AppBuilder. You can write code to do that if it is important to your design.
Generally speaking, you should choose the same style for most if not all of the widgets in your application. Make each extra type style count.

To assign a type style to a widget: |
- Open the property sheet for the widget. If the widget is being displayed and managed by a SmartObject, you must click the object's menu button and choose Edit Master to get access to that widget.
- When the Property Sheet dialog box opens, click the type style button (the AAa icon). The Choose Font dialog box opens:
- If necessary, click on the arrowhead buttons until the font sample you want to use is in view. Click it, and the thick outline appears, indicating selection.
- Click OK to dismiss the Choose dialog box. Click OK to dismiss the property sheet. You should see your choice of type style reflected in the widget.
