Re: [libreoffice-users] new book
thanks andrew for keeping up this great work. though a lot has been changed since your first book, would you consider inserting the new grid control in this new edition? best regards, alex On 08/05/2011 03:49 PM, rogerio dandrea wrote: new book http://www.pitonyak.org/OOME_3_0.odt :0) thanks Pitonyak for the excellent work :0) From Brazil -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Do you want to read it or set it?
Can you provide a code snippet?
my window is a dialog box. how could i get to it's component that implements
xfont?
I have never tried it... The real question, however, is. Do the font
descriptors available from a container window provide the interface that you
desire? I assume that the font descriptor is not control or window dependent.
If you are able to determine the font that will be used by the control, is it
possible to then find the font descriptor. I have never pursued this (and I do
not have time now because I must be somewhere in a matter of minutes).
thanks andrew,
i've tried your suggestion on the forum, and could enumerate the font
descriptors of the current doc.
but i'm interested in dialog controls.
few of them feature labels. they have the FontDescriptor and few other relevant
fields and methods (obviously an interface they implement).
and they obviously really use some font to render these labels.
as i said, my problem was that the FontDescriptor shows empty info.
what i can assume is, since i don't specifically set the font, the system font
is being chosen. but in this case, the descriptor of the system font should be
stored there, shouldn't it?
however i think this is a bug, i'd like to go around it, by setting myself the
system font descriptor in the FontDescriptor field of the control or any other
way.
please advice on how could i obtain the system font.
and' on how could i set the font of a dialog/control.
thanks in advance,
alex

the question on the forum was mine too. thanks for answering.
i'd like to use getStringWidth() on a dialog made with a macro.
i'm trying, however i might need some further indication.
