FontsShell: fonts

Note: This example is designed to work with TechView and there is no guarantee that it will work with other interfaces.

[Top]

Description

FontsShell provides an application shell and two concrete controls.

CGraphicExampleControl is a control class, derived from CCoeControl, which links the app shell to the particular controls.

CHelloControl illustrates the drawing of text using a standard font.

CFontControl illustrates the use of fonts.

Build

The source code for this example application can be found in the directory:

examples\Graphics\Fonts

It may be in the directory in which you installed Symbian OS, or it may be in src\common\developerlibrary\. It includes the two project files needed for building: bld.inf and the .mmp file.

The Symbian OS build process describes how to build this application. For the emulator, an application called FontsShell.exe is created in epoc32\release\winscw\<udeb or urel>\.

[Top]

Usage

  1. Launch the emulator:

    \epoc32\release\winscw\<urel or udeb>\EPOC.EXE.

  2. Click on FONTSSHELL to run the application. If using the TechView emulator, this will be in the Extras menu.

  3. The controls are listed on the menu List of Programs. Press the appropriate menu item to select a specific control.

  4. Step through each phase of the example by pressing the space bar or by tapping on the window drawn by that example.
