PRB: Navigation Buttons Font Different from Other Object Fonts

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

On a Wizard-generated form, the font used for the navigation buttons is different from the font used for labels and other form objects.

CAUSE

To maintain consistency with user expectations, the MS Sans Serif font was used instead of Arial.

RESOLUTION

To use Arial fonts exclusively on Wizard-generated forms, modify the Wizstyle visual class library as found in the \Vfp\Wizards directory. Open the TxtBtns class of the Wizstyle.vcx and change the FontName attribute for each CommandButton object to Arial.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

In 'Step 2 - Style' of designing a form using the Form Wizard, you are asked to specify the style of the form. While all fields and other objects placed on the form use the Arial font, the text buttons use the MS Sans Serif font.

NOTE: If the information in the "Resolution" section of this article is used, all forms that use the TxtBtns class will reflect the changed font because of Inheritance.
