The Command UTILITY CHOOSEFONT is still in the dark ages in OI32.

There is no Colour, or strikethrough displayed.



On the 16 bit version we had to write our own caller to the font dialog via COMMDLG.

This now needs rewriting for COMDLG32 32 bit calls.



Is there any easier way to use CHOOSEFONT to get all the expected features in 32 bit Windows.

<QUOTE>Our product addresses your problem immediately. In the meantime OI32's direct API access means that you can make calls to common dialogs yourself. This will introduce some problems as the dialog will be in the engine process space but it will at least provide a stop gap solution. In 4.1 this will be made even easier.

<QUOTE>Sprezz,



Got more of those ugly mugs of yours? My copy disappears from the dishwasher all the time. For some reason it's popular with my colleagues. What if I got one mug per plug?

<QUOTE>Colin,



  This does call the COMDLG32 version of ChooseFont.  If you want to control the look of this dialog, you can set the flags parameter of the CHOOSEFONT structure via the second field of the second parameter.  Documentation on the flags can be found here:



[url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/userinput/commondialogboxlibrary/commondialogboxreference/commondialogboxstructures/choosefont.asp]CHOOSEFONT[/url]



and flag bit values are defined as:

I don't know if all of the font information you need will be returned though.  If you need more, let me know what it is and I'll see what I can do to get it also returned.
