change all fonts at runtime

edited October 2004 in General
hi there

I was wondering if it is possible to change the fonts of all TppCustomText
on a report at Runtime?

I tried looping though the controls[] but no luck

    Tech Tip: Loop Thru All Objects in a Report
    ---------------------------------------------

    A ReportBuilder report is composed of a set
    of components. The basic structure is

    Reports.Bands[].Objects[]

    The bands and objects within the report can
    be accessed directly by object name or
    via the Bands and Objects array properties.

    Below is an example of using the Bands and
    Objects array properties to change the font for
    all objects on a report.


    uses
    ppClass;


    procedure AssignFontToReport(aFont: TFont; aReport: TppCustomReport);
    var
    liBand: Integer;
    liObject: Integer;
    lObject: TppComponent;

    begin

    for liBand := 0 to aReport.BandCount-1 do

    for liObject := 0 to aReport.Bands[liBand].ObjectCount-1 do
    begin
    lObject := aReport.Bands[liBand].Objects[liObject];

    if lObject.HasFont then
    lObject.Font := aFont;

    end;

    end;
