Win32_Pick_Font Function

Displays a Windows common font dialog.

Usage

font_name = Win32_Pick_Font( )

Input Parameters

None.

Returned Value

fontname — Name of font selected in form “Face, Point Size [, bold, italic, underline ]”. If the Cancel button is pressed, a NULL string is returned.

Keywords

Default — A font specification that is used to initialize the font dialog.

Device — If present and non-zero indicates the selected font should be set as the current hardware font for subsequent WIN32 driver text. Equivalent to using the command “DEVICE, Font=f”.

Fixed — If present and non-zero indicates that only fixed width fonts should be displayed in the font dialog.

Scalable — If present and non-zero indicates that only scalable fonts should be displayed in the font dialog.

TrueType — If present and non-zero indicates that only TrueType fonts should be displayed in the font dialog. Since TrueType fonts are specified by point size, they are not scaled when displayed as part of a view element. It is best to use software fonts for this purpose.

Example

Displays all TrueType fonts and sets the default font to the selected font.

font_name = WIN32_PICK_FONT(/TrueType, /Device)

Opens a font dialog displaying Arial, 12 pt. Bold as the default font.
