Column CSS Registry entry

Specify the default font family and font size for Vitalware client controls that display HTML formatted text (i.e. KEHTMLFrame controls).

With this entry it is possible to specify the default font family and font size for Vitalware client controls that display HTML formatted text. These controls are known as KEHTMLFrame controls and they are associated with a column. In the Communications module the Communication tab includes a KEHTMLFrame control associated with the Letter column:

A KEHTMLFrame control has a default font and font size (typically set by the System): Times New Roman and Font size 3 in the example above. With this entry it is possible to change the default font and font size of text keyed into the KEHTMLFrame control.

Note: This entry is available with Vitalware version 2.6 and later.
