Returns

Returns true or false depending on if the Cancel button was pressed or not on the Font Dialog, same as the Clarion FONTDIALOG function does.

This method is a wrapper for the Clarion FONTDIALOG function. The difference is that you don't have to declare variables to use it! Instead you simply call the method and then you will have access to all the information that was selected by using the FontName, FontSize, FontColor, etc. properties of the class.

Example:

ITU ITUtilityClass

Code

If ITU.SelectFont('Select font')

! Now you can use the Font properties of the Utilities Class to access the font information for the selected font!

End

! Compare this to using the Clarion FontDialog:

FontName String(64)

FontSize Long

FontColor Long

FontStyle Long

FontCharset Long

Code

If FontDialog('Select font',FontName, FontSize, FontColor, FontStyle, FontCharset)

! Now you can use the font information returned.

End
