Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property FontCount As Short
'Usage
Dim instance As Printer 
Dim value As Short

public short FontCount { get; }
public:
property short FontCount {
    short get ();

Property Value

Type: System.Int16
Returns a Short.

Remarks

The FontCount property is equivalent to the Length property of Families in the .NET Framework.

Note

Visual Basic 2008 supports only TrueType fonts; the value returned by FontCount may be different than the value returned in Visual Basic 6.0.

Note

Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2008. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the FontCount property value.

Dim Printer As New Printer
MsgBox(CStr(Printer.FontCount) & " fonts are available.")
