DdfSetFont
This function specifies a text font in the DDF buffer.
Syntax
DdfSetFont(hddf, pszFaceName, ulWidth, ulHeight)
Parameters
- hddf (HDDF) - input
- Handle to DDF returned by DdfInitialize.
- pszFaceName (PCSZ) - input
- Pointer to font name. This parameter can be specified in two ways:
- An ASCIIZ string specifying the font name.
- NULL or "default" to specify the default font.
- ulWidth (ULONG) - input
- Font width in points. A point is approximately 1/72 of an inch.
- ulHeight (ULONG) - input
- Font height in points.
- rc (BOOL) - returns
- Success indicator.
Returns
- rc (BOOL) - returns
- Success indicator.
- TRUE Successful completion
- FALSE Error occurred
Remarks
No specific remarks were provided for this function.
Possible errors include:
- HMERR_DDF_MEMORY (0x3001) Not enough memory is available.
Example Code
Declaration:
#define INCL_DDF
#include <os2.h>
HDDF hddf; /* Handle to DDF returned by DdfInitialize. */
PCSZ pszFaceName; /* Pointer to font name. */
ULONG ulWidth; /* Font width in points. */
ULONG ulHeight; /* Font height in points. */
BOOL rc; /* Success indicator. */
rc = DdfSetFont(hddf, pszFaceName, ulWidth,
ulHeight);
After initializing a DDF buffer with DdfInitialize, this example uses `DdfPara` to start a new paragraph, `DdfSetFont` and `DdfSetFontStyle` to display text in a large, bold Courier font, `DdfSetColor` to change the text color, and `DdfText` to place text in the buffer.
For a more detailed example and discussion of initializing DDF, see the DdfInitialize sample.
