RE: [Dev-C++] fonts

[Marc H. <ma...@e-...>]

Hi,
 
I just had a look at msdn.microsoft.com and this is the example they
provide:
 
HWND hwnd;                // owner window

HDC hdc;                  // display device context of owner window



CHOOSEFONT cf;            // common dialog box structure

static LOGFONT lf;        // logical font structure

static DWORD rgbCurrent;   // current text color

HFONT hfont, hfontPrev;

DWORD rgbPrev;



// Initialize CHOOSEFONT

ZeroMemory(&cf, sizeof(cf));

cf.lStructSize = sizeof (cf);

cf.hwndOwner = hwnd;

cf.lpLogFont = &lf;

cf.rgbColors = rgbCurrent;

cf.Flags = CF_SCREENFONTS | CF_EFFECTS;



if (ChooseFont(&cf)==TRUE) {

    hfont = CreateFontIndirect(cf.lpLogFont);

    hfontPrev = SelectObject(hdc, hfont);

    rgbCurrent= cf.rgbColors;

    rgbPrev = SetTextColor(hdc, rgbCurrent);

 .

 .

 .

}


The only differences I can see is that:
1.    They specify CF_SCREENFONTS, but you said you tried that
2.    They ZeroMemory the CHOOSEFONT struct before use.

Hi, Marc
Thanks for your help, but it still doesn't work. I still get the same
message. Can it be that I need to include some header files? I included
windows.h and commdlg.h. Or maybe there is a problem with my Windows 200?
 
Regards, Vlada

Hi,
 
I had a similar problem using the common font dialog in VB. As far as I can
remember you have to specify a type of font to list using one of the flags
otherwise Windows doesn't know which fonts to enumerate.
 
CF_WYSIWYG, CF_PRINTERFONTS or CF_TTONLY

Hi.
I have a strange problem: I want to use ChooseFont API function to display
font selection dialog. I wrote a procedure, compiled, but when I start the
application and press choose font from the menu, I get the message: "There
are no fonts instaled. Open Fonts folder in Control Panel to install
fonts.". Of course, fonts are installed. I have Windows 2000 and DevCpp
4.9.5.0. Can anyone tell me what could cause this? Here is the code I wrote
to display font dialog:
 
case WM_COMMAND:
           switch(LOWORD(wParam))
           {
               case ID_FORMAT_FONT:
               {
                   CHOOSEFONT chFont;
                   chFont.lStructSize=sizeof(CHOOSEFONT);
                   chFont.hwndOwner=hwnd;
                   chFont.lpLogFont=&lFont;
                   chFont.iPointSize=1;
                   chFont.Flags=CF_INITTOLOGFONTSTRUCT|CF_EFFECTS;
                   chFont.rgbColors=RGB(0,0,0);
                   chFont.nFontType=REGULAR_FONTTYPE;
                   if(!ChooseFont(&chFont))
                       MessageBox(hwnd,"Error in font
dialog","Error",MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP);
               }
               break;
           }
