Summary

Set the terminal emulation font.

Syntax

Boolean VtFont (CurrentFont)

CurrentFont Integer

Description

To select the type of font to be used for VT220 emulation, call the VtFont method and pass the font type.

The VtFont method takes a current font type (CurrentFont) as its parameter and returns a boolean. The current font must be set to a valid font option (refer to the CurrentFont property for a list of fonts). If the terminal emulation font can be successfully set, then the method returns True; otherwise, it returns False. The application should ensure that the method was successfully executed by checking the return value.

Calling this method is equivalent to setting the VtAction property to VT_SET_VTFONT. This method can only be called after the VT220 emulation window has been created and initialized.

The following values are valid for font type:

Value Meaning
FONT_NONE None
FONT_DEC Large DEC font
FONT_SMALL Small DEC Font
FONT_IBM IBM Font
FONT_ANSI ANSI Font
FONT_TERMINAL Terminal Font
FONT_CUSTOM Custom Font
FONT_DEC_MEDIUM Medium DEC font

Example

Result = VT220Client.VtFont (FONT_DEC)
If Result = False Then
MsgBox "Cannot set terminal font", 64, "Sample Program"
End If

"The night before I went on summer holiday we had to make some 'last minute' configuration changes to approx. 300 routers, a tedious job to do manually with telnet. We went along with MS Excel containing a list of IP-adresses to the routers, and the VIT telnet-component. One hour later the VBA-application (small is beautiful) was working, and after another hour all of our routers were updated with the new configuration. I just say a big "Thanks" to you all for a good sleep that night."
