Fonts
The font used by certain widgets can be specified by the application. The following widgets allow their font to be changed: CwLabel, CwPushButton, CwToggleButton, CwCascadeButton, CwText, CwList, CwComboBox, and CwScale. The font is changed using the fontList: method. The font to use is specified by a CwFontList object.
To create a
CwFontList, the
fontStruct: class method of
CwFontList is passed a
CgFontStruct describing a Common Graphics font. A
CgFontStruct can be loaded using the
loadQueryFont: method of
CgDisplay. For further details on fonts, consult
"Using fonts".
The following code creates a multiline text widget and sets its font to the monospaced font named '8x13.'
| shell fontStruct fontList text |
shell := CwTopLevelShell
createApplicationShell: 'shell'
argBlock: [:w | w title: 'Font List Example'].
fontStruct := shell display loadQueryFont: '8x13'.
fontList := CwFontList fontStruct: fontStruct.
text := shell
createText: 'text'
argBlock: [:w | w
editMode: XmMULTILINEEDIT;
fontList: fontList].
text setString: 'This text is displayed using the 8x13 font.'.
text manageChild.
