Flags Property (Font Dialog)
See Also Example Applies To
Returns or sets the options for the Font dialog box.
Syntax
object**.Flags** [= value]
The Flags property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| value | A constant or value specifying the options for a Font dialog box, as described in Settings. |
Settings
The settings for value are:
| Constant | Value | Description |
| cdlCFANSIOnly | &H400 | Specifies that the dialog box allows only a selection of the fonts that use the Windows character set. If this flag is set, the user won't be able to select a font that contains only symbols. |
| cdlCFApply | &H200 | Enables the Apply button on the dialog box. |
| cdlCFBoth | &H3 | Causes the dialog box to list the available printer and screen fonts. The hDC property identifies the device context associated with the printer. |
| cdlCFEffects | &H100 | Specifies that the dialog box enables strikethrough, underline, and color effects. |
| cdlCFFixedPitchOnly | &H4000 | Specifies that the dialog box selects only fixed-pitch fonts. |
| cdlCFForceFontExist | &H10000 | Specifies that an error message box is displayed if the user attempts to select a font or style that doesn't exist. |
| cdlCFHelpButton | &H4 | Causes the dialog box to display a Help button. |
| cdlCFLimitSize | &H2000 | Specifies that the dialog box selects only font sizes within the range specified by the Min and Max properties. |
| cdlCFNoFaceSel | &H80000 | No font name selected. |
| cdlCFNoSimulations | &H1000 | Specifies that the dialog box doesn't allow graphic device interface (GDI) font simulations. |
| cdlCFNoSizeSel | &H200000 | No font size selected. |
| cdlCFNoStyleSel | &H100000 | No style was selected. |
| cdlCFNoVectorFonts | &H800 | Specifies that the dialog box doesn't allow vector-font selections. |
| cdlCFPrinterFonts | &H2 | Causes the dialog box to list only the fonts supported by the printer, specified by the hDC property. |
| cdlCFScalableOnly | &H20000 | Specifies that the dialog box allows only the selection of fonts that can be scaled. |
| cdlCFScreenFonts | &H1 | Causes the dialog box to list only the screen fonts supported by the system. |
| cdlCFTTOnly | &H40000 | Specifies that the dialog box allows only the selection of TrueType fonts. |
| cdlCFWYSIWYG | &H8000 | Specifies that the dialog box allows only the selection of fonts that are available on both the printer and on screen. If this flag is set, the cdlCFBoth and cdlCFScalableOnly flags should also be set. |
Remarks
These constants are listed in the Microsoft CommonDialog Control (MSComDlg) object library in the Object Browser.
You can also define selected flags. Use the Const keyword in the Declarations section of the startup form to define the flags you want to use. For example:
Const ReadOnly = &H00000001&
Const Effects = &H00000100&
You can set more than one flag for a dialog box using the Or operator. For example:
CommonDialog1.Flags = &H10& Or &H200&
Adding the desired constant values produces the same results. The following is equivalent to the preceding example:
CommonDialog1.Flags = &H210&
Note You must set the Flags property to cdlCFScreenFonts, cdlCFPrinterFonts, or cdlCFBoth before displaying the Fonts dialog box. Otherwise, the error No Fonts Exist occurs.
