Package: com.mindfusion.scheduling

 Syntax

Java

public boolean drawFormattedContentsText (
    Rectangle destination,
    boolean useSettings
)

 Parameters

destination

A reference to the destination rectangle. This rectangle might be changed in the process of rendering.

useSettings

Specifies whether to take into consideration validation properties, such as ItemSettings.getEnableDefaultRendering. Specify false for this property to perform the rendering unconditionally.

 Return Value

true if the text has been rendered; otherwise, false.

 Remarks

This method renders the Item.getDescriptionText of the underlying item using the settings from the underlying style, such as Style.getTextColor, Style.getTextAlignment, and so on. The method also takes into consideration some HTML formatting tags, such as <b>, <i> and <color>. Since the style is based on the current theme, the rendered text is guaranteed to be theme independent, that is, the color and font of the text, unless overridden, are the same as those specified in the current theme. If the theme is changed, the font and color are updated accordingly.
