Examples

In the following example, the text in the fourth column of the current item is set to underline and bold. This does not affect any other font settings.

xcall l_status(listid, D_LAXCTRL, axctrl, D_LCURITM, curr)
xcall ax_call(axctrl, "GetCellFont", curr, 4, fontname, ptsize, style)
xcall ax_call(axctrl, "SetCellFont", curr, 4, fontname, ptsize,
 &    (style .bor. D_CELL_BOLD .bor. D_CELL_UNDER))

The following example turns off italic for the text in the second column of the current item without affecting any other font settings.

xcall l_status(listid, D_LAXCTRL, axctrl, D_LCURITM, curr)
xcall ax_call(axctrl, "GetCellFont", curr, 4, fontname, ptsize, style)
xcall ax_call(axctrl, "SetCellFont", curr, 4, fontname, ptsize,
 &    (style .band. (.bnot. D_CELL_ITALIC)))
