FontRequester()

Syntax

Result = FontRequester(FontName$, FontSize, Flags [, Color])

Opens the standard requester to choose a font. If the user cancels the requester, the return value is 0, else it's 1. 'FontName$' and 'FontSize' can be used to set the default font.

The commands SelectedFontColor(), SelectedFontName(), SelectedFontSize() and SelectedFontStyle() can be used after a successful call to get the needed information about the selected font. The optional 'Color' parameter can be used to set the default color when the requester is opened. A valid color value you can get with the command RGB().

'Flags' can be one of the following values:

  #PB_FontRequester_Effects : Enable the requesters effects, including color chooser.

Example:

  FontName$ = "Arial"   ; set initial font  (could also be blank)
  FontSize  = 14        ; set initial size  (could also be null)
  Result = FontRequester(FontName$, FontSize, #PB_FontRequester_Effects)
  If Result
    Message$ = "You have selected following font:"  + #LF$ 
    Message$ + "Name:  " + SelectedFontName()       + #LF$
    Message$ + "Size:  " + Str(SelectedFontSize())  + #LF$
    Message$ + "Color: " + Str(SelectedFontColor()) + #LF$
    If SelectedFontStyle() & #PB_Font_Bold
      Message$ + "Bold" + #LF$
    EndIf
    If SelectedFontStyle() & #PB_Font_StrikeOut
      Message$ + "StrikeOut" + #LF$
    EndIf
    If SelectedFontStyle() & #PB_Font_Underline
      Message$ + "Underline" + #LF$
    EndIf
  Else 
    Message$ = "The requester was canceled."
  EndIf
  
  MessageRequester("FontRequester", Message$, #PB_MessageRequester_Ok)
