Large (Property)
In french: Large
Warning
From version 27, this property is kept for backward compatibility. It is recommended to use the new CharacterSpacing property to manage character spacing.

Remark: Stretched font characters can be:
  • Normal: characters are normal.
  • Condensed: characters are narrower (Condensed property).
  • Extended: characters are wider (Extended property).
  • Large: the width of characters is increased to the maximum.
Example
// Define the characteristics of a Font variable
Font1 is Font
Font1.Name = "Arial"
Font1.Size = 14
Font1.Large = True
// Apply the font to "MyControl"
MyControl.Font = Font1
