Is there a case for $GUI_FONTBOLD

[benners]

Looking at GuiCtrlSetFont, I know the weight parameter controls the "boldness", and the attribute controls the fonts attributes

•   $GUI_FONTNORMAL (0) = Normal
•   $GUI_FONTITALIC (2) = Italic
•   $GUI_FONTUNDER (4) = Underlined
•   $GUI_FONTSTRIKE (8) = Strike

_GDIPlus_FontCreate, has a style parameter that has 

•   0 - Normal weight or thickness of the typeface
•   1 - Bold typeface
•   2 - Italic typeface
•   4 - Underline
•   8 - Strikethrough

You can use the gui constants for _GDIPlus_FontCreate but there isn't a constant for the "Bold" I normally add it myself in my scripts, $GUI_FONTBOLD = 1, but would it be a good addition to the default GUIConstantsEx.au3?

The GuiCtrlSetFont is using the MSDN CreateFont so defining $GUI_FONTBOLD = 1 will just be ignored

the weigth must be selected to have a bold font

as AutoIt is a direct wrapper to MSDN api I will not change this behavior

Sorry

Yeah, no worries. Just thought it could be used more for _GDIPlus_FontCreate along with the other $GUI constants rather than with GuiCtrlSetFont.

Thanks for the explanation.
