Arw SetTextFontName

Assigns the specified font to the text of an arrow object with the specified ID number.

Arw_SetTextFontName returns a value of -2 if the specified object ID number is invalid.

Any font in the Fonts folder can be used; the folder is accessible from the Control Panel in Windows XP operating system. In Windows 7, an overview of all installed fonts can be found in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. Alternatively, you can look in a text editor for the specific name of your preferred font.

Usage

Arw_SetTextFontName(ObjectID, "FontName")

Where:

ObjectID - a numerical expression specifying the object ID number.

FontName - a string expression specifying the font name.

• The FontName input is not case sensitive, but spaces do need to match.

Notes

• An object-specific ID number is assigned by Arw_New, Arw_New_s, Arw_New_self or Arw_New_self_s when the arrow object is created.
• Use Arw_GetActive, Arw_GetFirst or Arw_GetNext to get the object-specific ID number of an already created arrow.

Examples

Assign font Verdana to the text of an arrow object with the ID number of 3:

Value1 = Arw_SetTextFontName(3, "Verdana");

Assign font Times New Roman to the text of an arrow object with the ID number of 6:

Value1 = Arw_SetTextFontName(6, "Times New Roman");
