In XAML for strings that are to be displayed in localized language we need to identify its Width property and access it using x:Uid attribute.
If particular string width falls short of space how we can attain flexible layout and also we know German and Finnish require more space than English for text.
Is there any alternate way to get localized strings in XAML.
You can access the strings in code via a ResourceLoader object.

I'm was going reviewing a few autolisp and dcl tutorials (afralisp & autolisp-exchange) to brush up on the dcl code. To cut to the question, I see that the text can be underlined by the mnemonic in afralisp and the & in autolisp-exchange.
Is there a better way to underline a string of characters?
Can a string be made bold, italicized, or strike-though with this
file type?
If the above is true, is there a reference webpage that has a list of fonts that can be used with the dcl file type?
This webpage may contain the solution, but I haven't seen how: AutoDesk.com
In short, you cannot arbitrarily change the GUI font face or style using standard DCL.
The ability to underline text is purely an exploit of the mnemonic property which allows DCL controls to be manipulated using keys on the keyboard which correspond to the underlined letters as opposed to using the mouse to click such controls.
Whilst DCL text has the is_bold property, this has never worked (and likely never will). One alternative is to feign bold text using the set_tile function in conjunction with an image tile; or you can use the fixed_width_font property, but, as the name implies, this will change the text to use a fixed width font (the exact font cannot be changed).
One other possibility is to display text using the vector_image function applied to an image tile, as I demonstrate in the 'About' dialog for my Incremental Numbering Suite application.
I'm trying to use MaterialDesignIcons in a Xamarin Forms Shell app. The latest version of this font encodes all of the glyphs in the upper bit planes (see this old StackOverflow question about that).
The problem I have is that I don't know how to identify the proper XAML escape sequence for upper bit plane glyphs. For example, \uf30c in C# code translates to in XAML. But I don't know how to translate an upper bit plane value (e.g. \U000f0706) to the correct XAML escape sequence.
I thought I'd just use a binding to code instead, but this is blocked by an open bug. There's a workaround in that GitHub issue, but it doesn't seem to work for a Tab Bar Icon (which is where I'm trying to use it).
TL;DR - how to I write \U000f0706 in XAML?
I am unable to format the text in a text object. For example, I need headers in bold, while the body of the text could be normal. Can I get any hints on this?
I know this can be achieved via extension objects, but I do not have any experience creating them.
This is not currently possible in QlikView 11. It has been an open development request for quite some time.
You have two options:
Use multiple text objects and lay them over each other (i.e. make the topmost one bold and its background transparent).
Use an extension object, however, this then restricts you to AJAX/WebView for your document. There is an existing extension (written by Stefan Walther) that has this capability here (git repo).
I'm looking to create an adobe pdf fragment (footer) with a name, address, and phone number. However, some documents require a different phone number for international usage. Instead of creating 2 fragments and using a Choice subform, I was hoping there was a way to create a single fragment that had the phone number dynamically generate based on some property.
Is there any way to do what I'm thinking, or do I have to stick with 2 separate fragments + a choice subform?
Further clarification:
My thought is this... if I can have the fragment use script to dynamically set the text of the phone number field, that would be great. The forms themselves would set some sort of variable or custom property or something that the fragment could use in its script.
You could use a hidden checkbox in the main form with an appropriate value and access it from the "form fragment" using adobe javascript.
In my app I want to provide bookmarks for text in NSTextView. Should I use RTF bookmarks?
And if so, how to determine their position later?
What options are possible to solve this problem?
See the Attributed String Programming Guide and the Text Attribute Programming Guide. You can set standard or custom attributes attributed strings (which NSTextView consumes) for a given range. You can also use an NSTextAttachment to show some sort of visible "anchor". Scroll the range of the attribute run or attachment to visible when the "bookmark" is selected.
Really, the sky is the limit in terms of "style". It just depends on what you're trying to do and how much functionality you want.
