The following example illustrates the use of this property and the font object.

var f = this.getField("MyField");
f.textFont = font.Helv;
textSize
Type: Integer
Fields: All
Access: R/W
This property determines the text size in points that is used in all controls. In combo box and
radio button fields, the text size determines the size of the check. Valid text sizes include zero
and the range from 4 to 144 inclusive. A text size of zero means that the largest point size that
can still fit in the field’s rectangle should be used (in multi-line text fields and buttons this is
always 12 point).
// set the text size of MyField to 28 point
var f = this.getField("MyField");
f.textSize = 28;

This property gets the value of the field data that the user has entered. Depending on the type
of the field, the

may be a

is used to create
calculated fields.
var oil = this.getField("Oil");
