Use with a Font variable
The Charset property is used to:
  • Get the character set used by a variable of type Font.
  • Change the character set used by a variable of type Font.
Universal Windows 10 App This property is not available for the Font type.
Use with HFSQL data files
The Charset property gets the character set used by an HFSQL data file. This character set is selected with ChangeCharset and taken into account when creating the data file. This property is read-only.
Reminder: By default, data files use the ANSI character set. To change the character set of a data file, you must:
Example
WindowsLinuxiPhone/iPadIOS WidgetMac Catalyst
// Example with a Font variable
// Define the font characteristics
Font1 is Font
Font1.Name = "Arial"
Font1.Size = 14
Font1.SizeUnit = unitPoint
Font1.Orientation = 45
Font1.Charset = charsetRussian
// Apply the font to "MyControl"
MyControl.Font = Font1
// Example with the HFSQL data files
HOpen(Customer)
FileLanguage is int = Customer.Charset
// Changes the character set according to the data file format
SWITCH FileLanguage
CASE charsetArabic: ChangeCharset(charsetArabic)
CASE charsetDefault: ChangeCharset(charsetDefault)
CASE charsetGreek: ChangeCharset(charsetGreek)
CASE charsetHebrew: ChangeCharset(charsetHebrew)
CASE charsetOccidental: ChangeCharset(charsetOccidental)
