NSFont ActiveX
This control is part of NS BASIC Controls package. Please see its documentation to get full information about this package.
1. Overview
The NSFont control is not a visual object. It is a standard storage for
font settings used by the visual controls in the library. Like the
image lists you rarely need to create it directly. The controls that
use one or more NSFont objects create them implicitly and expose
them to the application through their properties. From that point
further you just change the properties of the exposed font as
needed. For example to make the font bold in a list view control you
simply need to do this:
NSListView1.Font.Bold = True
Of course, it is possible and sometimes more convenient to create
a NSFont object initialize it and then assign to the corresponding
property of a control. For example you may have two list views on a
form and you want to set up them with the same font.
' Somewhere the font is created
AddObject "NSBasic.comctl.NSFont","MyFont"
' The font is changed/initialized - for
example you may provide the user with a font selection dialog
' for the sake of the example lets do something simple:
MyFont.Size = 8
MyFont = "Tahoma"
MyFont.Italic = True
' Then assign the same font to the two list
views on the form:
Set NSListView1.Font = MyFont
Set NSListView2.Font = MyFont
This enables the developer to choose how to work with the fonts -
think of them as of a grouped font related properties - all
accessible as objet.Font.<font_property> or construct font
setting separately and then assign them to the controls that need
them.
2. Members reference
NSFont object
For example the object can be accessed like this:
Set fnt = NSListView1.Font
or
AddObject "NSBasic.comctl.Font","NSFont"
or manipulated as par of the object to which it applies
object.Font.Bold = True
