Fontawesome icons

Scriptcase 9 Suggestions

On a Grid Application detail how to display a fontawesome icon (not an image)? Maybe as a new data type similar as current HTML Image.

It looks like it is quite simple (for once)…

  1. Create a text field. e.g. test_icon
  2. in onRecord or similar set the field value to the icon:
    {test_icon} = '<i class="fas fa-utensils"></i>';

That’s it!

It is then possible to generate an Application Link on the field as usual and clicking the link works.

Notes: Only solid icons work, and then not all of them either. e.g.
<i class="fa-solid fa-calendar-check"></i> doesn’t work.

It would be useful to know what the subset of Fontawesome icons are that are provided or/and how to add more.

This is great! Thanks so much.
You can ALSO use these as Header Labels.

in the Label box of a Text field I did this:

<i class="far fa-calendar-check"></i>';

With this on the On Record event for the Label
{test_icon} = '<i class="fas fa-utensils"></i>';

You can use font awesome with svg code like this:

if (strcmp({tipoVehiculo},‘Moto’) == 0)
{
{icofa} = '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 640 512"><!--!

I don’t think Scriptcase has access to all FontAwesome icons - it is only some of them.

There is also an issue that icons don’t show when a grid is shown within a normal tab - but they do show when it is an iframe.
