Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Class FontDialog _
Inherits CommonDialog
Dim instance As FontDialog
public class FontDialog : CommonDialog
public ref class FontDialog : public CommonDialog
public class FontDialog extends CommonDialog
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 Sub button1_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
fontDialog1.ShowColor = True
fontDialog1.Font = textBox1.Font
fontDialog1.Color = textBox1.ForeColor
If fontDialog1.ShowDialog() <> DialogResult.Cancel Then
textBox1.Font = fontDialog1.Font
textBox1.ForeColor = fontDialog1.Color
End If
End Sub 'button1_Click
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;
}
}
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;
}
