Remarks

You can use this property to display your dialog boxes in the same font as the Visio dialog boxes.

COM (Component Object Model) provides a standard implementation of a font object with the IFontDisp interface on top of the underlying system font support. The IFontDisp interface exposes a font object's properties and is implemented in the stdole type library as a StdFont object that can be created within Microsoft Visual Basic. The stdole type library is automatically referenced from all Visual Basic projects in Visio.

To get information about the StdFont object that supports the IFontDisp interface

  1. On the Tools menu, point to Macros, and then click Visual Basic Editor.
  2. On the View menu, click Object Browser.
  3. In the Project/Library list, click stdole.
  4. Under Classes, examine the class named StdFont.

For details about the IFontDisp interface, see the Microsoft Platform SDK on MSDN, the Microsoft Developer Network.

Example

The following sample code shows how to get a reference to a StdFont object that conveys information about the application fonts, and how to print that information to the Immediate window.

Sub DialogFont_Example()

Dim objStdFont As StdFont
Set objStdFont = Application.DialogFont

    With objStdFont

         Debug.Print .Bold
         Debug.Print .CharSet  
         Debug.Print .Italic
         Debug.Print .Name
         Debug.Print .Size
         Debug.Print .Strikethrough
         Debug.Print .Underline
         Debug.Print .Weight

    End With
 
End Sub
