PRB: STYLE Clause Not Used with ? and ?? Commands

Last reviewed: April 29, 1996
Article ID: Q99635

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0
Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS

If the SET PRINT FONT "<font name>",<point size> command is used to define the font in which FoxPro for Windows is to print, and the ? or ?? command with a STYLE clause is used to output text to the printer, the specified STYLE is not used in the printed output.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, add a FONT clause to the ? or ?? commands in the code example below. For example, the first ? command would be:

   ? "This should be bold" FONT "Arial",12 STYLE "B"

MORE INFORMATION

The following code will reproduce this problem:

   SET PRINTER FONT "Arial",12
   SET PRINTER ON

   ? "This should be bold" STYLE "B"
   ?? "This should be italic" STYLE "I"

   SET PRINTER OFF
   SET PRINTER TO
