No HMG4 Font object

[concentra]

I am new to HMG and am converting a FiveWin printing tool to HMG4 and I was unable to find references to FONT objects in HMG4...
HMG4 don´t have FONT objects ?
In FiveWin I can create independent FONT objects and set them to other objects like PRINT, WINDOW, etc.
In HMG4 this is not possible ? Or do I have to manipulate QT font objects directly ?

Another thing I considered strange is that if an incorrect or invalid printer is selected, the printing subsystem will only manage this AFTER generating the full report. Im my opinion this would be checked earlier, in the printer selection functions. I think I am able to make this change by myself but the development managers have to agree and I also don´t have access to make changes in the SVN.

Where can I find QT documentations ?

Daniel, I did it, but was unable to find any sample about PRINT nor FONT management in hmg.4.html ...
I only see a HMG 4.0 Status Report on 2010-09-24.
Will do a SVN checkout to see what I get in the current trunk...

Daniel thahks, but I already had this samples.
Maybe I wasn´t clear in what I am looking for.
Forget about printing, I am looking for FONT management functions.
Like defining a FONT object and manipulating their properties like font name, size, bold, italic, etc.

Maurício Faria,

Thanks a lot for your interest.

As of now, our main concern is to port HMG 3 applications to HMG 4. In HMG 3, we have separate definition of fonts for each control. (Since HMG 3 is not an OOP model).

Definitely a separate font object will be required and we have to create the same in the future.

Ok, I see.
May I try to write this ?
Who authorizes write access to SF ?

[Rathinagiri]

If you want, yes you can.

Kindly give your SF username.

[concentra]

Hi, Rathinagiri.
My SF id is concentra.

But, while studying HMG4 in order to do the job, I realised that it´s easier to work with the QFont object directly since all HMG4 controls uses fonts in this way ( directly ) !

While testing some code I found some weird behaviors...
One is that in a BUTTON, when changing the button caption I need to change 2 properties -> :caption and :cCaption !
If I change only one ( any one ) the button caption do not change !
Is this the expected behavior or am I doing something wrong ?
PLease test the folowing code with the latest HMG4 (02/2011) :

--------------------------------------------------------

#include "hmg.ch"

Function Main

Local oWindow , oButton1

With Object oWindow := Window():New()
:Width := 200
:Height := 80
:Type := WND_MAIN

With Object oButton1 := Button():New()
:Row := 20
:Col := 20
:Width := 160
:Caption := 'Click to Change Caption !'
:OnClick := { || ChangeCaption(oButton1) }
End With

End With

oWindow:Activate()

Return




FUNCTION ChangeCaption(oButton1)

Static lOnOff

IF lOnOff == NIL
lOnOff := .T.
ENDIF

IF lOnOff
oButton1:cCaption := 'Click to change back...'
oButton1:Caption := 'Click to change back...'
ELSE
oButton1:cCaption := 'Click to Change Caption !'
oButton1:Caption := 'Click to Change Caption !'
ENDIF

lOnOff := ! lOnOff

RETURN NIL
