Problem/Question/Abstract:
I was just wondering what the best way to save a particular font to the registry would be. Do I have to save each of its attributes separately? Is there an easier way than storing it to the registry, perhaps? Seems like such a simple issue, but other than saving and loading each attribute separately, I can't think of a way to do it at one time!
Answer:
You can do it by getting a TLogfont record filled and save that to a binary key:
var
lf: TLogfont;
begin
fillchar(lf, sizeof(lf), 0);
GetObject(font.handle, sizeof(lf), @lf);
registry.WriteBinarydata(valuename, lf, sizeof(lf));
end;
Reading it back would go like this:
registry.ReadBinarydata(valuename, lf, sizeof(lf));
font.handle := CreateFontIndirect(lf);
A probably more Kylix-compatible method would be to create a non-visual wrapper component for a TFont and stream that, e.g. to a memory stream. The streams content could then be saved to a binary registry key.
type
TFontWrapper = class(TComponent)
private
FFont: TFont;
procedure SetFont(f: TFont);
public
constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;
destructor Destroy; override;
published
property Font: TFont read FFont write SetFont;
end;
constructor TFontWrapper.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
begin
inherited Create(aOwner);
FFont := TFont.Create;
end;
destructor TFontWrapper.Destroy;
begin
FFont.Free;
inherited Destroy;
end;
procedure TFontWrapper.SetFont(f: TFont);
begin
FFont.Assign(f);
end;
procedure TScratchMain.SpeedButton2Click(Sender: TObject);
const
b: Boolean = False;
var
fw: TFontWrapper;
st: TFileStream;
begin
if b then
begin
edit1.text := 'Loading font';
fw := nil;
st := TFileStream.Create('E:\A\test.str', fmOpenRead);
try
fw := TFontWrapper.Create(nil);
st.ReadComponent(fw);
memo1.font.assign(fw.font);
finally
fw.Free;
st.Free;
end;
end
else
begin
edit1.text := 'Saving font';
fw := nil;
st := TFileStream.Create('E:\A\test.str', fmCreate);
try
fw := TFontWrapper.Create(nil);
fw.Font := Font;
st.WriteComponent(fw);
finally
fw.Free;
st.Free;
end;
end;
b := not b;
end;
</div>
