.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

FontDialog

Synopsis

This CommonDialog allows users to select a particular Font and System.Drawing.Color.

There are various properties that can permit or deny particular types of font such as AllowSimulations, AllowVectorFonts, AllowVerticalFonts, ScriptsOnly (which eliminates nontext fonts such as Wingdings) and FixedPitchOnly (which limits the list to monospaced fonts such as Courier).

In addition, there are a variety of properties to control the appearance and function of the dialog. The ShowApply property determines whether the dialog has an apply button. ShowColor enables or disables the System.Drawing.Color selector, interacting with the ShowEffects property, which determines whether the group of controls that allow you to set effects such as bold, underline, and the System.Drawing.Color, is shown.
