Set Fontscale With Vb

Legacy Poster

Hi

 

I have posted previously regarding this issue but ended up getting sidetracked onto something else.  I am still having a problem using a vb script to adjust the font scale.

 

This is the function I have entered:

 

If (Len(Field("PrintFile.Field 6")) <= 10) Then

 

    (Field("PrintFile.Field 6")).FontScale = 98%

 

Else

 

    (Field("PrintFile.Field 6")).FontScale = 85%

 

End If 

 

However I keep getting an error #6900

 

"The following script error was found:

 

<Line 8:   (Field("PrintFile.Field 6")).FontScale = 98%:Expected statement>

 

What am I doing wrong? 

 

I am really new to this...so please forgive me if the answer is really simple... 

 

Thank you.

 

NickySA

  Take a look at this forum post: http://forums.seagullscientific.com/index.php?/topic/2415-cant-set-fontsize-in-vb-script-bug

   

  Obviously your question refers to the FontScale property as opposed to the FontSize, but the general idea is the same.

  Hi.

   

  Thanks for your reply.

   

  I have changed my script to the following:

   

  If (Len(Field("PrintFile.Field 6")) <= 10) Then

   

      Format.Objects("Text 5").FontScale = 98

   

  Else

   

     Format.Objects("Text 5").FontScale = 85

   

  End If 

   

  This is on Transforms, vbscripts, and selecting "OnProcessData" of the field itself... I get the following error message now "Object property is not supported. This property is only allowed when running document event scripts."

   

  Where am I meant to put this?

   

  Thanks

  NickySA

  Hello NickySA,

   

  Object properties can only be modified from a document level script, accessible from the "File>BarTender Document Options..." dialog under the "VB Scripting" tab. Note that at least the Automation edition is required to use this VB script type.

   

  Regards.
