Font control?

does vb offer a ready form, control, or whatever for selecting a font name, the font's color etc, so we can type with this font in a richtextbox and have the ability to change the font's characteristics ate any time desired?

(I speak about a control like the one we have in vb in order to set the fonts for example for a richtextbox).

I hope my question is clear

Thanks....

Check out the Microsoft Common Dialog Control,
it has a .ShowFont method which will fire up the "Select Font"
and let you select a font.

MainWindow.cdbOpenSave.ShowFont

I tried that.... It seems right, but when I run it I get a message "there are no fonts installed" and then I get a runtime error "No fonts exist"

any ideas?

whow that sucks

I'm sorry man, can't think of a solution yet ;(

I found that we must put some flags before.... I will try to do this....


"Before you use the ShowFont method, you must set the Flags property of the CommonDialog control to one of three constants or values: cdlCFBoth or &H3, cdlCFPrinterFonts or &H2, or cdlCFScreenFonts or &H1. If you don't set Flags, a message box is displayed advising you that "There are no fonts installed," and a run-time error occurs."

Ok, I managed to do it

MainWindow.cdbOpenSave.FLAGS = cdlCFBoth
MainWindow.cdbOpenSave.ShowFont

Thanks for the help
