TextBox functions and properties

Font

FontType TextBox.Font

Gets/sets the font used by the specified text box. This might be useful if you need a player input text box to use a different font with foreign language translations, for example.

Example:

txtUserInput.Font = eFontNormal;

will change the txtUserInput text box to use Font "Normal".
