SUMMARY
The FOXPRO.INI file stores three sets of data: the last position of the main FoxPro screen when FoxPro is exited, the current screen font, and the current printer font for the output of files that are currently being edited.



MORE INFORMATION
The settings are configured in the following format:

[Section name]

SettingName=value

The following SettingNames are available in the FOXPRO.INI file below the [FOXPRO] section name:

Zoomed=

This SettingName is use to determine if the user had the screen maximized when he or she last quit FoxPro. The Boolean value can be a 1 (maximized) or a 0 (not maximized). If Zoomed=1, the SettingNames Row, Column, Height, and Width should all be set to 0.

Row=

This is the vertical starting position of the main FoxPro window if it is not maximized. The value is in pixels.

Column=

This is the horizontal starting position of the main FoxPro window if it is not maximized. The value is in pixels.

Height=

This is the height of the main FoxPro window in pixels.

Width=

This is the width of the main FoxPro window in pixels.

FontName=

The is the default screen font used by FoxPro for all screen definitions. Each individual screen font definition can be changed under screen layout in the screen generator. The font name should appear in the same format as seen in the Windows Control Panel Fonts icon.

FontStyle=

This is the default font style used by FoxPro for all screen definitions. Font styles are regular, bold, italic, and bold italic. The FontStyle SettingName requires a numeric value: regular=0, bold=1, italic=2, bold italic=3.

FontSize=

This is the point size of the default font. For example, if you want the default screen font to be Arial bold 10-point size, you would enter the following information in the FOXPRO.INI file:

FontName=Arial FontStyle=1 FontSize=10

You can also change the default font directly through FoxPro; this is the preferred method. To change the default screen font, hold down the SHIFT key and choose Screen Font from the Text menu. Any changes made will be reflected in the FOXPRO.INI file when you quit FoxPro.

PrtFontName=

Same as FontName except this is the font used to print out .PRG files or text files currently being edited.

PrtFontStyle=

Same as FontStyle. See above.

PrtFontSize=

Same as FontSize. See above.

You can manually change PrtFontName, PrtFontStyle, and PrtFontSize by editing the FOXPRO.INI file. You can also change PrtFontName and PrtFontSize in FoxPro by using the following command:

SET PRINT FONT "Arial",12

NOTE: SET PRINT FONT is an undocumented command. For more information, query on the following words:

FoxPro and set and print and font

SET PRINT FONT does not affect PrtFontStyle. PrtFontStyle must be changed manually in the FOXPRO.INI file.

Additional query words: VFoxWin FoxWin 2.50 2.50a 2.50b 2.60 2.60a
