  • 1.  Drop down list Font properties

    Posted Fri May 31, 2019 09:04 AM

    I'm just learning Cognos 11.0.13

     

    Does anyone know if it's possible to alter the Font properties of a Drop-down list. The text on the rest of the report is bigger and I'd like to adjust how the Drop-down is displayed to fill the cell (see attached)

     

    Many thanks

    Hi Andy,

     

    You should be able to change the font properties in Report Studio by selecting the drop-down list and clicking the "A" icon that appears on the top menu

     

    Hope this helps!

    @Andy Williamson Based on the screenshot it looks like you are using an Active Report control. It does not look possible to update the font size of an Active Report Control. As Jeff said, using a regular standard control (Non-Active Report Control) you should be able to change the font size. 

    Not recommended, but using developer tools you can ​see the CSS that is applied to the control and copy and paste that css code into an HTML item and manipulate the font size of the prompt control. If you would like, I can send you sample report spec showing this.

    I'd appreciate that Denny.  Yes I am using an Active Report control, so thanks for confirming and it's not just that I'm missing something.  I had also begun to look down the CSS route, but decided it best to ask advice first.

    Many thanks
    Andy

    Hey Andy,

    I've attached a sample report spec with the css styling applied. As I stated in my previous post, this is an unsupported method as it overrides the global css styling. It can impact other controls on the page that use the same css styling.
