Mathcad Prime 10 TextBox

Hi folks,

 

has anybody figured out whether the textbox can change/adjust:

  • fonts
  • switch on/off the border (see image)
  • removing the output variable entirely

It seems to me that Prime 10 is lacking these features in text boxes.

I"m curious what the use case of removing the output variable is.

 

I mean, you can make it valueless so if you evaluate what the text box was defined to then it's just "", and you can hide the definition so no one reading your worksheet will know what it is.

Removing the output would make sense if the text box is just used to display a result like the "pass" and "fail" in the thread Luc had linked to.
In this case its useless to have to assign the textbox to a variable which we do not intend to use.
Of course we can assign the box to a dummy variable and then hide and collapse the left hand side of that (unnecessary) assignment.

 

But I too sure would be interested how to change the font family, font style, alignment, etc from within the script and being able to remove the border or change its look (double lines, shadow, ..) like we could do in Mathcad would be beneficial, too.
