NAME getfont_gc -- create getfont BOOPSI objects SUPERCLASS gadgetclass REQUIRES button.gadget DESCRIPTION The getfont gadget class is used to get fonts and font attributes from a font requester in an easy and consistent way. It consists of two button gadgets, one read-only and one popfont button, that are used to select the font and show the result. Advantages that this class provides: > Consistent behaviour and look in all applications using this class instead of doing their own font selection routines. > Easy to use. METHODS OM_NEW -- Passed to superclass, defaults set, then OM_SET. Children created. OM_SET -- Passed to superclass, custom tags set. OM_GET -- custom tag returned or passed to superclass. OM_UPDATE -- Passed to superclass, options set then rendered. OM_DISPOSE -- Children disposed of, then passed to superclass. GM_RENDER -- Passed to superclass, then children are rendered. GM_HITTEST -- Overrides superclass, returns GMR_GADGETHIT if within the popfile/drawer button. GM_HELPTEST -- Overrides superclass, returns GMR_HELPHIT if within the domain of the gadget. GM_GOACTIVE -- Passed to superclass, passed to popfile/drawer button. GM_HANDLEINPUT -- Overrides superclass, all input processed. GM_GOINACTIVE -- Passed to superclass, popfile/drawer button deactivated. GM_DOMAIN -- Returns GDOMAIN_MINIMUM and GDOMAIN_MAXIMUM dimensions. GM_KEYACTIVE -- Private method for keyboard control. GM_KEYINACTIVE -- Private method for keyboard control. GFONT_REQUEST -- getfont gadget method for invoking the font requester. ATTRIBUTES Most of these tags operate the same as the ASLFO_#? tags in ASL library. See <asl.library/AslRequest> for detailed descriptions. GETFONT_TitleText (STRPTR) requester title text. Defaults to NULL. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_TextAttr (struct textattr *) Font to show in the gadget. The textattr.ta_Style, textattr.ta_Name and textattr.ta_YSize fields are used by the font requester as default values in OM_NEW and contain the information about the font in the other methods. Defaults to none. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET, OM_NOTIFY). GETFONT_DoFrontPen (BOOL) Do front pen. Defaults to FALSE. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_DoBackPen (BOOL) Do back pen. Default to FALSE. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_DoStyle (BOOL) Do style. Defaults to FALSE. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_DoDrawMode (BOOL) Do draw mode. Defaults to FALSE. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_MinHeight (UWORD) Minimum font height. Defaults to 6. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_MaxHeight (UWORD) Maximum font height. Defaults to 20. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_FixedWidthOnly (BOOL) Only show fixed width fonts. Defaults to FALSE. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_Height (WORD) Height of the font requester. Defaults to 200. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET). GETFONT_Width (WORD) Width of the font requester. Defaults to 300. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET). GETFONT_LeftEdge (WORD) Left edge of the font requester. Defaults to 30. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET). GETFONT_TopEdge (WORD) Top edge of the font requester. Defaults to 20. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET). GETFONT_FrontPen (UBYTE) Front pen. Defaults to 1. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET, OM_NOTIFY). GETFONT_BackPen (UBYTE) Back pen. Defaults to 0. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET, OM_NOTIFY). GETFONT_DrawMode (UBYTE) draw mode. Defaults to JAM1. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET, OM_NOTIFY). GETFONT_MaxFrontPen (UBYTE) Max number of colors in front palette. Defaults to 255. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_MaxBackPen (UBYTE) Max number of colors in back palette. Defaults to 255. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_ModeList (STRPTR *) Substitute list for drawmodes. Defaults to none. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_FrontPens (UBYTE *) Color table for front pen palette. Defaults to none. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_BackPens (UBYTE *) Color table for back pen palette. Defaults to none. Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET). GETFONT_SoftStyle (UBYTE) SoftStyle, provided only for making mapping to button.gadget easier. Textattr.ta_Style in the GETFONT_TextAttr attribute will provide the style in other cases. Applicability is (OM_GET, OM_NOTIFY).
