MePHiTiC 0 Posted January 4, 2007 I've got a script which is opening .txt reports in notepad. I'm curious if anyone knows of a parameter or something which I can force a specific font and font size since these reports need to be viewed with Lucidia Console @ 7 point. Thanks, MePH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herewasplato 2 Posted January 5, 2007 Welcome to the forum. I would have posted this last night, but the forum went down. You could just open notepad and set the font as desired... ...then close notepad and open the report of interest. You should only have to set the font once per computer, but it takes so little time, you could just do it every time via your script. You might want to also consider setting it back to what ever font settings were present before your script ran. Opt("WinWaitDelay", 1) Run("notepad", '', @SW_SHOW) WinWait("Untitled - Notepad") WinMenuSelectItem("Untitled - ", "", "F&ormat", "&Font") WinWait("Font", "Cancel") ;WinSetState("Font", "Cancel", @SW_HIDE) ControlSetText("Font", "Cancel", "Edit1", "Lucida Console") ControlSetText("Font", "Cancel", "Edit2", "Regular") ControlSetText("Font", "Cancel", "Edit3", "7") ControlClick("Font", "Cancel", "Button5") WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")...as you can see, I have the @SW_SHOW on the run line. I was messing with doing it all while the window was hidden. I'm not sure that you can do all of it without a flash of the font window.

Uten 9 Posted January 5, 2007 @herwasplato's script probably works fine. But Notepad saves the value in the registry so a more reliable approach would probably be to change it there? Lurke it out with regmon from the company formerly known as www.sysinternals.com. Filter on notepad. And do the change a few times in a notepad session. Just my two cents..

MePHiTiC 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Both ways sound good .. I'll explore the registry method first however. Thanks for the help everyone! MePH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
