FontDialog Class
Prompts the user to choose a font from among those installed on the local computer.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
The inherited member ShowDialog must be invoked to create this specific common dialog box. HookProc can be overridden to implement specific dialog box hook functionality.
When you create an instance of FontDialog, some of the read/write properties are set to initial values. For a list of these values, see the FontDialog constructor.
The following code example uses ShowDialog to display a FontDialog. This code requires that a Form has already been created with a TextBox and button placed on it. It also requires that the fontDialog1 has been created. The Font contains the size information but not the color information.
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { fontDialog1.ShowColor = true; fontDialog1.Font = textBox1.Font; fontDialog1.Color = textBox1.ForeColor; if(fontDialog1.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.Cancel ) { textBox1.Font = fontDialog1.Font ; textBox1.ForeColor = fontDialog1.Color; } }
