Extended (Property)

Warning
From version 27, this property is kept for backward compatibility. It is recommended to use the new CharacterSpacing property to manage character spacing.

The property Extended allows you to:

Find out whether a Font variable is extended.
Extend (or not) a Font variable.

Remark: Font stretching can be:

Normal: character width is normal.
Condensed: character width is reduced (property Condensed).
Extended: character width is increased.
Large: character width is increased to maximum (property Large).

Example

// Définir les caractéristiques d'une variable de type police
Police1 is Font
Police1.Nom = "Arial"
Police1.Taille = 14
Police1.Etendu = True
// Appliquer la police au champ "MonChamp"
MyControl.Police = Police1

Font variable

A font can be created from a Font variable.

To define the font characteristics, use:

the FontCreate function,
the Charset, Orientation, StrikeOut, Condensed, Color, Bold, Italic, Large, Name, Underline and Size properties.

This font can be used:

To write text in drawings (dFont).
To write in charts (grLabelFont, grLegendFont, grTitleFont and grAxisTitleFont).
To print (iFont).
In the controls of a window (Font property).
In the controls of a report (Font property).

Limits

The properties that define character stretch options (Large, Extended and Condensed properties) are supported only if the specified Font variable is used for printing (print font or font of controls in a report).

In other cases (fonts used for drawings, charts or window controls), these characteristics are ignored.
