Syntax

PROPERTY CellFontName () AS DWSTRING
PROPERTY CellFontName (BYREF wszFontName AS WSTRING)

Parameters

NameDescription
wszFontNameThe font name.

Description

Returns or sets the typeface (font name) for the currently active cell or a selected range of cells.

Remarks

This property affects the cell(s) specified by the current Row and Col properties.

  • Set single cell: grid.CellFontName = "Arial"
  • Read value: strFont = grid.CellFontName

To change the font name for multiple cells simultaneously without a loop, you must utilize the FillStyle property:

Set grid.FillStyle = flexFillRepeat (Value 1). Select the range using the Row, Col, RowSel, and ColSel properties. Assign the new font: grid.CellFontName = "Verdana". Reset grid.FillStyle = flexFillSingle (Value 0) to avoid accidental global changes later.

It is common to use CellFontName to display symbols or distinct data types in specific columns: Changing the font name can change the width of the text. You may need to manually update the ColWidth to ensure the text remains fully visible and is not clipped.

Example

grid.Row = 2: grid.Col = 1 ' Change typeface for a specific cell grid.CellFontName = "Courier New" grid.CellFontSize = 10 grid.Text = "Fixed-Width Data"
