The following code
VPE.OpenDoc
VPE.CharCount = 15
VPE.FormField(1, 1, -10, VFREE, "Hello World!")
VPE.Preview
will produce
As you can see, the font size is computed by VPE automatically in a way that the characters will fit best into the given width.
The FormField is surrounded by a rectangle, because after calling OpenDoc() VPE sets the PenSize by default to 0.3 mm.
In order to remove the surrounding rectangle, use the following code:
VPE.OpenDoc
VPE.PenSize = 0
VPE.CharCount = 15
VPE.FormField(1, 1, -10, VFREE, "Hello World!")
VPE.Preview
The following code will set the pen size of the dividers to 0.06 (0.6mm, the default is 0.1mm) and reduce the height of the dividers to ¼ (which is by default at ½):
VPE.OpenDoc
VPE.CharCount = 15
VPE.DividerPenSize = 0.06
VPE.DividerStyle = VFF_STYLE_1_4
VPE.FormField(1, 1, -10, VFREE, "Hello World!")
VPE.Preview
Please note that the font size (and therefore also the automatically computed height of the FormField!) had changed a bit, because due to the thicker dividers there is less space for the characters.
Possible styles are:
Style |
Value |
Comment |
VFF_STYLE_NONE |
0 |
no dividers |
VFF_STYLE_1_4 |
1 |
1/4 height |
VFF_STYLE_1_3 |
2 |
1/3 height |
VFF_STYLE_1_2 |
3 |
1/2 height (default) |
VFF_STYLE_2_3 |
4 |
2/3 height |
VFF_STYLE_3_4 |
5 |
3/4 height |
VFF_STYLE_1_1 |
6 |
full height (default for AltDivider) |
Take a look at the following code sample:
VPE.OpenDoc
VPE.CharCount = 15
VPE.DividerStyle = VFF_STYLE_1_1
VPE.FormField(1, 1, -10, VFREE, "Hello World!")
VPE.Preview
