How to set selected font in FontListTool
posted

You can set the SelectedIndex, however how can chose the correct font if I already have the font name? There doesn't seem to be a way to find the correct index to select?

Thanks,

    Hi,

    So you've noticed the FontListTool doesn't seem to have these methods to support what you are after and I almost lost faith in the FontListTool but only for a moment; we can look at the class inheritance and notice that a FontListTool inherits from a ComboBoxTool.  This class has what we need to do the operations you are after...

    myFontListTool.Value = myFontListTool.ValueList.FindByDataValue("Bookman Old Style");

    What is really happening is the FontListTool will be cast to a ComboBoxTool and the call will be valid.  You can also cast it yourself to see all the properties and methods available.
