ok,
i've been trying to do this for a while.
what i want is the same functionality as Word has with the fonts.
you click the drop down and you can see all the fonts on your system in the actual style of the font.

I can get a simmalar effect with a picture box and a vertical scroller.

but i don't know how to 'select' the font i want from the picture box.

i belive this can be done with API.

to see what i am talking about open up Word and look at the fonts.

any suggestions would be great as I am pretty much at the end of my rope on this.


thanks
