Methods

vFontSelect(vBaseWindow* win)

vFontSelect(vApp* app)

The vFontSelect constructor requires a pointer to a vBaseWindow, which includes all V windows and dialogs, or a pointer to the vApp object. You will usually pass the this to the constructor.

int FontSelect(vFont& font, const char* msg = "Select Font")

This method displays a dialog that lets the user select font characteristics. If possible, the native font selection dialog will be used (e.g., Windows). The font dialog will display the current characteristics of the font object, and change them upon successful return. A false return means the user selected Cancel, while a true return means the user finished the selection with an OK.
