TextField::DefaultFontId Property

 

Gets or sets the default font id.

Namespace:   Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.Diagrams.12.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.Diagrams.12.0.dll)

public:
property StyleSetResourceId^ DefaultFontId {
	StyleSetResourceId^ get();
	void set(StyleSetResourceId^ value);
}

To set the font id for a particular field in every instance of a particular shape class, override InitializeShapeFields() in the shape class, find the text field, and assign the new value. The ID value must be a member of DiagramFonts.

For example, to use the standard comment font for a field called "CommentDecorator":


// Set Generates Double Derived in DSL Definition
// to allow InitializeShapeFields to be overridden.
  partial class ExampleShape
  {
    /// <summary>
    /// Compose a list of the fields in this shape.
    /// Called once for each shape class.
    /// </summary>
    protected override void InitializeShapeFields(IList<ShapeField> shapeFields)
    {
      // Set up fields according to DSL Definition:
      base.InitializeShapeFields(shapeFields);
      // Update the text field for CommentDecorator:
      TextField commentField = ShapeElement.FindShapeField(shapeFields, "CommentDecorator") as TextField;
      commentField.DefaultFontId = DiagramsFonts.CommentText;
    }
}

To alter the font dynamically, derive your own subclass of TextField and override GetFondId(). To change to a font outside the standard style set, override GetFont(). See the examples in those methods.
