[CONNECT C++] Changing text font

$

0

Trying to change the font of a text element from Arial to Century Gothic, and using a code snip from the U5 help file:

 

	virtual StatusInt ChangeFontTool::_OnElementModify(EditElementHandleR eeh) override
	{
		// read the text string

		// aquire the font object
		DgnFontCP newFont = DgnFontManager::FindSystemFont(L"Century Gothic"); // Optionally provide a filter to find only RSC, SHX, or TrueType fonts; must also check NULL.
		if ( newFont->IsValid() && newFont != nullptr )
		{
			wprintf(L"Font found\n");
			// Create the helper class...
			ElementPropertiesSetterPtr remapper = ElementPropertiesSetter::Create();
			remapper->SetFont(*newFont); // Dereference newFont if required based on how you got and verified the font object.

			// Change the font...
			bool	bStatus = remapper->Apply(eeh);

			// You may now AddToModel or ReplaceInModel on eeh.
			if ( bStatus )
				wprintf(L"Text Changed\n");
			else
				wprintf(L"Text NOT Changed\n");
		}
		else
			wprintf(L"Font not found\n");

		return SUCCESS;	// apply changes
	}

 

The remapper attempt fails, and I get the "Text NOT changed" message. The font IS found.
