>Hi all,
>In my current project, I have to use a control designed for vb environment. One of the control properties is the Font property. When I use the control in vfp, the property value is mark as Object. There is a button with three dot caption in the Property window which brings up the font dialog box. Problem arise when I need to assign this property in run time (programmatically). I don’t know much about vb, but I think, in vb I can do this with these commands:
> Dim oFont AS StdFont
> WITH oFont
> .Bold = True
> .Name = “Arial”
> ENDWITH
>Then assign it to other object:
> Set Text1.Font = oFont

>How can I do this with VFP? I need to create a font object then assign it to the active-x control font property. I tried GETFONT() in vfp, but it returns strings instead of object compatible with font object.

What happens when you attempt to access the properties of the object at run time? Ex.

With MyControl.Font
   .Name = "MS Sans Serif"
   .Bold = .T.
   .Size = 8
Endwith

I do this when I use the Treeview control in VFP and the setup is exactly as you describe.

HTH.
