Here is one way you can go about it:

Document curDoc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Database db = curDoc.Database;
Editor ed = curDoc.Editor;

TextStyleTableRecord txtStyle = new TextStyleTableRecord();
txtStyle.Name = "My Style";
txtStyle.Font = new Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsInterface.FontDescriptor("Symbol", false, false, 0, 0);
txtStyle.Annotative = AnnotativeStates.True;
txtStyle.TextSize = 0.125;

using (Transaction trans = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
{
 TextStyleTable tab = (TextStyleTable)db.TextStyleTableId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForWrite);
 tab.Add(txtStyle);
 trans.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(txtStyle, true);
 db.Textstyle = txtStyle.Id;
 trans.Commit();
}

Hi,

how can I show what is the current TextStyle ??

this show me my style, but I know what is this name:

textStyleId = textStyleTable["MyTextStyle"];
TextStyleTableRecord style = tr.GetObject(textStyleId, OpenMode.ForRead) as TextStyleTableRecord;
string sTx = style.Name;

ed.WrittenMessage("\nCurrent Text Style: {0}", sTx);

but If I don't??

textStyleId = textStyleTable[??];  // - I want to know name current TextStyle
TextStyleTableRecord style = tr.GetObject(textStyleId, OpenMode.ForRead) as TextStyleTableRecord;
string sTx = style.Name;
 
ed.WrittenMessage("\nCurrent Text Style: {0}", sTx);

Hi,

if you have access to your database you also have access to the property .Textstyle (e.g. AcadDocDB.Textstyle) which gives you the ObjectID for the TextStyleTableRecord.
