Controls that can display text
Description
This property specifies the font character set to be used for the text in the control. Character sets and font typefaces are related, so choosing the wrong character set can cause a different font to be used than the one expected.
When working in a painter, setting the font face name property causes the correct character set to be selected.
Usage
In a painter
To set the font character set:
-
Select a font character set from the FontCharSet list box on the Font tab page of the control's Properties view.
To set the font character set of text objects in a graph control:
-
Display the Text tab page of the graph control's Properties view.
-
Select the desired text object from the Text Object list box.
-
Select a font character set from the FontCharSet list box.
In scripts
The FontCharSet takes a value of the FontCharSet enumerated datatype. The following example sets the character set for a static text control to ANSI:
st_1.FontCharSet = ANSI!
