OBJECT SET FONT STYLE sets the form objects specified by object to be displayed using the font style you pass in styles.
If you specify the optional * parameter, you indicate an object name (a string) in object. If you omit the optional * parameter, you indicate a field or a variable in object. In this case, you specify a field or variable reference (field or variable objects only) instead of a string. For more information about object names, see the section Object Properties.
You pass in styles a sum of the constants describing your font style selection. The following are the predefined constants provided by 4D:
