TextMesh Pro - set fontStyle via script

using TMPro;

[SerializeField] private TMP_Text quadTermsLegalAge;

quadTermsLegalAge.GetComponent<TMP_Text>().fontStyle = FontStyle.Bold;


Error:

Assets\Scripts\SceneMainController_Scene2.cs(193,76): error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'UnityEngine.FontStyle' to 'TMPro.FontStyles'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Why is this not working ???

Unity Version: 2020.3
TextMeshPro Version: 3.0.6

 

You can do a explicit conversion with (FontStyles):

Code (CSharp):

1.         quadTermsLegalAge.GetComponent<TMP_Text>().fontStyle = (FontStyles)FontStyle.Bold;

This works fine for me

 

Thank you very very much.

 

UnityEngine.FontStyle is used by the old "Text Mesh" component. The correct type to use is TMPro.FontStyles, which is the Text Mesh Pro equivalent. These are both enums, and casting from one to the other will mostly work (FontStyle.Bold and FontStyles.Bold are both equal to "1", for example), but the values are not guaranteed to line up with each other in all cases for all time.

So, your code would simply be (as long as you're using TMPro;):

Code (csharp):

1. quadTermsLegalAge.GetComponent<TMP_Text>().fontStyle = FontStyles.Bold;
