SetPrefString

Description

Sets the value of the specified VectorWorks preference setting. Used with preference settings requiring a STRING value.

A table of preference dialog items and their corresponding IDs may be found in the Scirpt Appendix.

PROCEDURE SetPrefString(
				index : INTEGER;
				value : STRING);
def vs.SetPrefString(index, value):
    return None

Parameters

Name Type Description
index INTEGER Preference item index.
value STRING New value for preference.

Remarks

Sets the value of the specified preference to the value passed. Similar to SetPref() except it works on preferences for string values

Examples

VectorScript

SetPrefString(154,'cubits');

Python



{set the text style, size and font for the creation of the new Callout}
SetPrefString(100, GetFontName(GetTextFont( textFoundH, 0 )) );
{SetPrefReal(57, GetTextSize(textFoundH, 0 ) );}
SetPrefInt(58, GetTextStyle( textFoundH, 0 ) );

txtJust := GetPrefInt(82);
txtVert := GetPrefInt(83);
SetPrefInt(82, 1);
SetPrefInt(83, 1);
SetPrefString(100, 'Arial Unicode MS');
