![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | HookProc | Specifies the common dialog box hook procedure that is overridden to add specific functionality to a common dialog box. (Overrides CommonDialog::HookProc(IntPtr, Int32, IntPtr, IntPtr).) |
![]() | InitializeLifetimeService | Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone(Boolean) | Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
![]() | OnApply | Raises the Apply event. |

![]() | ShowDialog() | Runs a common dialog box with a default owner. (Inherited from CommonDialog.) |
![]() | ShowDialog(IWin32Window) | Runs a common dialog box with the specified owner. (Inherited from CommonDialog.) |
![]() | ToString | Infrastructure. Retrieves a string that includes the name of the current font selected in the dialog box. (Overrides Component::ToString().) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Apply | Occurs when the user clicks the Apply button in the font dialog box. |
![]() | Disposed | Occurs when the component is disposed by a call to the Dispose method. (Inherited from Component.) |
![]() | HelpRequest | Occurs when the user clicks the Help button on a common dialog box. (Inherited from 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: 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; } }
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
