fontdata, font and the fontdialog
posted

Hi!

I would like to start a fontDialog containing the columns Header Font like

 FontData f = DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[0].Header.Appearance.FontData;

( All columns are alike)

I can read the fontdata properties from the column's Header Appearance object. What I am missing is , how can I create a font from fontdata ? I would like to set the font dialog to the fontdata setting.

A special fontdialog using fontdata input would of course also do it. Maybe I missed something in fontdata workings ?

 

best regards

    Create a Font instance from the relevant properties of the FontData struct.

    Example:
    string name = string.IsNullOrEmpty(fontData.Name) ? SystemFonts.DefaultFont.Name : fontData.Name;

    FontStyle style = FontStyle.Regular;
    if ( fontData.Bold == DefaultableBoolean.True )
        style |= FontStyle.Bold;

    if ( fontData.Italic == DefaultableBoolean.True )
        style |= FontStyle.Italic;

    if ( fontData.Strikeout == DefaultableBoolean.True )
        style |= FontStyle.Strikeout;

    if ( fontData.Underline == DefaultableBoolean.True )
        style |= FontStyle.Underline;

    float size = fontData.SizeInPoints > 0f ? fontData.SizeInPoints : SystemFonts.DefaultFont.SizeInPoints;

    Font font = new Font( name, size, style );
