Different font size for specific device

Question

I am currently developing universal app and I need to handle textbox font size for mobile and desktop separately. I found some approaches but none of them can\'t handle the prob

Answer 1

My problem is that I can't change font sizes defined in styles in the runtime

For your requirement, you could refer Setting that implemented in Template 10. Create Setting class that implements INotifyPropertyChanged and contain FontSize property

public class Setting : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
   private double _fontSize = 20;
   public double FontSize
   {
       get { return _fontSize; }
       set { _fontSize = value; OnPropertyChanged(); }
   }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    protected void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
    {
        this.PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
    }
}

Make a Setting instance in your application resources dictionary to init setting during app start.

Use data binding to bind the FontSize property to your TextBlocks like the follow.

Change font sizes defined in styles in the runtime.

((Setting)Application.Current.Resources["Setting"]).FontSize = 50;
