mtext.TextStyleId in Arial format

[joantopo]

Hi.

I would like to do this for mtext:

try
{
   MText mt = new MText();
mt.TextStyleName="ARIAL";
}
catch{}

 But "TextStyleName" is only for read.

I can use "TextStyleId", so...How can I get the ObjectIdCollection of TextStyle and check which of them is "ARIAL"?

Thanks.

This is to create a new textstyle and make it current:

But I want to check if there is a textstyle called "ARIAL" and create mtext with this textsytle.

       [CommandMethod("TestTextStyle")]
        static public void TestTextStyle()
        {
            Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Database db = doc.Database;
            Editor ed = doc.Editor;

            string textStyleName = "Standard";
            try
            {
                using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
                {
                    ed.WriteMessage("\n Default Textsize=={0}", db.Textsize);
                    TextStyleTable textStyleTable = (TextStyleTable)tr.GetObject(db.TextStyleTableId, OpenMode.ForRead);
                    if (!textStyleTable.Has(textStyleName))
                        throw new System.Exception(string.Format("Error: TextStyle not found: {0}", textStyleName));

                    ObjectId textStyleId = textStyleTable[textStyleName];
                    TextStyleTableRecord textStyle = (TextStyleTableRecord)tr.GetObject(textStyleId, OpenMode.ForRead);
                    ed.WriteMessage("\n {0} Size=={1}", textStyleName, textStyle.TextSize);

                    tr.Commit();
                }
            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
                ed.WriteMessage(ex.Message);
            }
        }

Thanks a lot!

It´s just that.

   MText mt = new MText();

              TextStyleTable TextStyleTable = (TextStyleTable)tr.GetObject(db.TextStyleTableId, OpenMode.ForRead);
              try
              {
                  ObjectId textStyleId = TextStyleTable["ARIAL"];
                  mt.TextStyleId = textStyleId;
              }
              catch { }
    
              mt.Contents = Contenido;
              mt.Layer = NombreCapa;
