Syntax

You can use this property to display your dialog boxes in the same font as the Visio dialog boxes.

COM (Component Object Model) provides a standard implementation of a font object with the IFontDisp interface on top of the underlying system font support. The IFontDisp interface exposes a font object's properties and is implemented in the stdole type library as a StdFont object that can be created within Microsoft Visual Basic. The stdole type library is automatically referenced from all Visual Basic projects in Visio.

To get information about the StdFont object that supports the IFontDisp interface

1. In the Code group on the Developer tab, click Visual Basic.

2. On the View menu, click Object Browser.

3. In the Project/Library list, click stdole.

4. Under Classes, examine the class named StdFont.

For details about the IFontDisp interface, see the Microsoft Platform SDK on MSDN, the Microsoft Developer Network.

Example

The following sample code shows how to get a reference to a StdFont object that conveys information about the application fonts, and how to print that information to the Immediate window.

 
Sub DialogFont_Example() 
 
Dim objStdFont As StdFont 
Set objStdFont = Application.DialogFont 
 
 With objStdFont 
 
 Debug.Print .Bold 
 Debug.Print .CharSet 
 Debug.Print .Italic 
 Debug.Print .Name 
 Debug.Print .Size 
 Debug.Print .Strikethrough 
 Debug.Print .Underline 
 Debug.Print .Weight 
 
 End With 
 
End Sub
