Syntax

Parameters
Return
The method returns a logical value. If the XbpFont object was initialized, the value .T. (true) is returned. In case of an error, return is .F. (false).
Description
When working with COM/ActiveX objects, an Xbase++ application often needs to manipulate fonts which are stored in COM/ActiveX properties, or which are returned by method calls. In this case, the font is usually returned as an AutomationObject() connected to an IFont COM/ActiveX interface. However, generally objects of class AutomationObject cannot be used with Xbase Parts or the Graphics Engine. Instead, the image must be specified as an XbpFont() object.
Method :setIFont() initializes an XbpFont object with font data from an IFont COM/ActiveX interface. This method provides a convenient way to retrieve the font maintained by a IFont COM/ActiveX interface.
