SftButton/OCX 3.0 - Button Control

Font Property, SftButton Object

Defines the font used to display text.

Syntax

Get

VB.NET	refFontObj = object.Font As System.Drawing.Font
VB	Set refFontObj = object.Font As IFontDisp
C#.NET	System.Drawing.Font refFontObj = object.Font;
VC++	IFontDisp* refFontObj = object->GetFont();
C	HRESULT object->get_Font(IFontDisp** refFontObj);

Put

VB.NET	object.let_Font(ByVal refFontObj As System.Drawing.Font)
VB	object.Font = refFontObj As IFontDisp
C#.NET	void object.let_Font(System.Drawing.Font refFontObj);
VC++	void object->PutFont(IFontDisp* refFontObj);
C	HRESULT object->put_Font(IFontDisp* refFontObj);

PutRef

VB.NET	object.Font = refFontObj As System.Drawing.Font
VB	Set object.Font = refFontObj As IFontDisp
C#.NET	System.Drawing.Font object.Font = refFontObj;
VC++	void object->PutRefFont(IFontDisp* refFontObj);
C	HRESULT object->putref_Font(IFontDisp* refFontObj);

object

A SftButton object.

refFontObj

Defines the font used to display text. For information about font properties, please visit the applicable section "Using SftButton/OCX with ...".

Comments

The Font property defines the font used to display text.

Using PutRef (see Syntax above) the control will use the reference to the Font object. If the Font object is later changed, this will also affect the font used by the control. Using Put instead, causes the control to create a copy of the Font object. If the Font object is later changed, this will not affect the font used by the control as it uses a copy of the object. Because of the additional overhead and the increased resource use of Put, PutRef is the preferred method.

Examples

VB.NET

    ' Update the button bitmap every so often to get the
    ' spinning globe effect
    SetImage()
End Sub

Private Sub AxSftButton1_HoverOn(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AxSftButton1.HoverOn
    ' The cursor is over the button, change the font
    ' and button text
    AxSftButton1.Font = New Font(AxSftButton1.Font, FontStyle.Underline)
    AxSftButton1.Text = "Click Me, Please"
End Sub

Private Sub AxSftButton1_HoverOff(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AxSftButton1.HoverOff
    ' The cursor has left the button, change the font
    ' and button text back to their original settings
    AxSftButton1.Font = New Font(AxSftButton1.Font, FontStyle.Regular)
