Purpose

.HeadingFontName enables you to specify the font used for the text in a column heading. This property can be applied to the column headers used in certain objects and can be specified on a per column basis.

(Open Client only)

Syntax

Setting:          ObjectReference.HeadingFontName = Value

Retrieving:     Variable = ObjectReference.HeadingFontName
 

Operation

ObjectReference is the Tag Name of the object
Value is a font name specified in a case-insensitive character string
Variable is an alphanumeric variable 
 

Remarks

The requested value (font name) is passed to the Windows Client for translation into a suitable font for display.

The font name may be a logical font name that is mapped to a physical font name by the Windows Client as defined in the Application Definitions File.  The requested value may be subjected to further Font Mapping by the display subsystem or the operating system.

The retrieving command causes the font name to be returned in the same format that it was entered.  If either the Windows Client or the operating system mapped the designated font to another font for display purposes, that display font name is not retrieved.

Example

To set the .HeadingFontName property for a column header in a combo box with a Tag Name of CustomerName to Arial:

CustomerName.HeadingFontName = "Arial"


To retrieve the font that was set for a combo box with a Tag Name of CustomerName:

$CUSTOMERNAME_FONTNAME = CustomerName.HeadingFontName
