Get Report Settings

Retrieves information about the current font and text settings of a given report.

report in is a reference to the report whose appearance, data, and printing you want to control. Use the New Report VI to generate this refnum.
error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurs before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
report out is a reference to the report whose appearance, data, and printing you want to control. You can wire this refnum to other Report Generation VIs.
text options indicates how the text appears in the report.
Italic indicates whether text appears in italics in the report.
StrikeThrough indicates whether text appears with a strikethrough effect in the report.
Underline indicates whether text appears underlined in the report.
Bold indicates whether text appears bold in the report.
font settings indicates what font settings currently are used in a report.
charset is the character set to use for report text. The default is standard ASCII English.
name is the font name.
weight is the thickness of the font.
size is the font size. In Standard Report, this is the point size.
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
text color indicates the color currently used for the text in the report.
