DataSheetGetDefaultFont Function

Overview

The DataSheetGetDefaultFont function returns the default font information, if set, for a Data Sheet Object.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string[] = DataSheetGetDefaultFont ( handle hSheet );

Parameters

hSheet

A handle to a Data Sheet Object.

Return Value

Returns a string array of properties for the default font or an empty array on error. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.

Remarks

A Data Sheet Object need not have a default font. If a default font has not been set, the GetLastError function will return ERROR_EOD.

The array will have the following key names (data values, except the handle, are from the Windows LOGFONT structure; see MSDN):

  Key Name   Description  
  FontHandle   The Windows handle for the font in hex.  
  FaceName   Name of the font.  
  Height   The height, in logical units, of the font’s character cell or character. The character height value (also known as the em height) is the character cell height value minus the internal-leading value.  
  Width   The average width, in logical units, of characters in the font. If Width is zero, the aspect ratio of the device is matched against the digitization aspect ratio of the available fonts to find the closest match, determined by the absolute value of the difference.  
  Escapement   See MSDN.  
  Orientation   The angle, in tenths of degrees, between each character's base line and the x-axis of the device.  
  Weight   The weight of the font in the range 0 through 1000. For example, 400 is normal and 700 is bold. If this value is zero, a default weight is used.  
  Italic   An italic font if set to 1.  
  Underline   An underlined font if set to 1.  
  StrikeOut   A strikeout font if set to 1.  
  CharSet   The character set. The values are predefined as part of the Windows SDK.  
  OutPrecision   The output precision defines how closely the output must match the requested font’s height, width, character orientation, escapement, pitch, and font type. The values are predefined as part of the Windows SDK.  
  ClipPrecision   The clipping precision defines how to clip characters that are partially outside the clipping region. It can be one or more of the following values.  
  Quality   The output quality.  
  PitchAndFamily   The pitch and family of the font.
