The CurrencyConverter component uses a web service to display the latest exchange rate between 2 chosen currencies (free download)

Different font styles can be applied at runtime and in the authoring environment with the Properties panel. The demo at the right allows a user to pick any 'to' and 'from' currency and displays the result in a custom font.

• Customize text format using styles

• Minimal coding needed
