ISetTextFormat Method (ISketchText)

Sets the text format for this sketch text.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function ISetTextFormat( _
   ByVal UseDoc As Boolean, _
   ByVal TextFormat As TextFormat _
) As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ISketchText
Dim UseDoc As Boolean
Dim TextFormat As TextFormat
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.ISetTextFormat(UseDoc, TextFormat)
C# 
bool ISetTextFormat( 
   bool UseDoc,
   TextFormat TextFormat
)
C++/CLI 
bool ISetTextFormat( 
&   bool UseDoc,
&   TextFormat^ TextFormat
) 

Parameters

UseDoc

True to use the default model text format, false to use a local text format

TextFormat

Local text format to use if UseDoc is false

Return Value

True if the text format was successfully set, false if not

Remarks

To set the text format, you must be editing the sketch. See IModelDoc2::EditSketch or ISketchManager::InsertSketch.

To change the text format of an existing sketch text, get the ITextFormat object using ISketchText::GetTextFormat or ISketchText::IGetTextFormat, next use the various ITextFormat APIs to set the text format properties to what you want the sketch text to look like. Then use this method to change how the sketch text looks. To make the sketch text use the default model text format, use this method with the useDoc argument set to True.

To determine if this sketch text is using the default model text format or not, use ISketchText::GetUseDocTextFormat.
