-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0 
 - Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5x, 2.6x 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The FOXPRO.INI file stores three sets of data: the last position of the main
FoxPro screen when FoxPro is exited, the current screen font, and the current
printer font for the output of files that are currently being edited.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The settings are configured in the following format:

   [Section name]
   SettingName=value

The following SettingNames are available in the FOXPRO.INI file below the
[FOXPRO] section name:

   Zoomed=<Boolean>

   This SettingName is use to determine if the user had the screen maximized
   when he or she last quit FoxPro. The Boolean value can be a 1 (maximized) or
   a 0 (not maximized). If Zoomed=1, the SettingNames Row, Column, Height, and
   Width should all be set to 0.

   Row=<numeric in pixels>

   This is the vertical starting position of the main FoxPro window if it is not
   maximized. The value is in pixels.

   Column=<numeric in pixels>

   This is the horizontal starting position of the main FoxPro window if it is
   not maximized. The value is in pixels.

   Height=<numeric in pixels>

   This is the height of the main FoxPro window in pixels.

   Width=<numeric in pixels>

   This is the width of the main FoxPro window in pixels.

   FontName=<font name>

   The is the default screen font used by FoxPro for all screen definitions.
   Each individual screen font definition can be changed under screen layout in
   the screen generator. The font name should appear in the same format as seen
   in the Windows Control Panel Fonts icon.

   FontStyle=<numeric>

   This is the default font style used by FoxPro for all screen definitions.
   Font styles are regular, bold, italic, and bold italic. The FontStyle
   SettingName requires a numeric value: regular=0, bold=1, italic=2, bold
   italic=3.

   FontSize=<numeric>

   This is the point size of the default font. For example, if you want the
   default screen font to be Arial bold 10-point size, you would enter the
   following information in the FOXPRO.INI file:

   FontName=Arial FontStyle=1 FontSize=10

   You can also change the default font directly through FoxPro; this is the
   preferred method. To change the default screen font, hold down the SHIFT key
   and choose Screen Font from the Text menu. Any changes made will be reflected
   in the FOXPRO.INI file when you quit FoxPro.

   PrtFontName=<font name>

   Same as FontName except this is the font used to print out .PRG files or text
   files currently being edited.

   PrtFontStyle=<numeric>

   Same as FontStyle. See above.

   PrtFontSize=<numeric>

   Same as FontSize. See above.

   You can manually change PrtFontName, PrtFontStyle, and PrtFontSize by editing
   the FOXPRO.INI file. You can also change PrtFontName and PrtFontSize in
   FoxPro by using the following command:

   SET PRINT FONT "Arial",12

   NOTE: SET PRINT FONT is an undocumented command. For more information, query
   on the following words:

   "FoxPro" (without the quotation marks) and "set" (without the quotation
   marks) and "print" (without the quotation marks) and "font" (without the
   quotation marks)

   SET PRINT FONT does not affect PrtFontStyle. PrtFontStyle must be changed
   manually in the FOXPRO.INI file.

Additional query words: VFoxWin FoxWin 2.50 2.50a 2.50b 2.60 2.60a
