Close API Fonts

Help with with the API - Calling Windows Choose Font Dialog

Found on The Access Web

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0061.htm

The code was originally written by Terry Kreft,
and modified by Stephen Lebans and many thanks to them

Problem - If I don't close the font window and select another option
button or try and close my program with the font window open the
system locks up.

I need some way of either forcing the user to close the font window
before moving to another location or closing the API through code.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

That article came with a downloadable sample. Run it. Observe no
crash. Conclude the problem is with your code (probably immediately
after the font selection - set a breakpoint and carefully step
through).
Or: Observe same crash. Conclude the problem is with your machine.

The font window shuts properly in my code when closed by user
properly. When user tries to close the program without shutting the
font window or tries to access another option button the open font
window is hidden. Without closing the font icon on the toolbar the
system freezes. As the test program supplied on the database does not
have other options you cannot see this but if you try and close
without shutting the font window the computer seems to lock up on the
test program

I have a bunch of custom fonts installed on my system. For instance if I look at the font drop-down in word pad I see about 90 fonts, but if I build an app using VS.Net, add a label, and try to change the font - I'm only given a choice of about 20 - the "standard" fonts which are installed with the OS (XP). How can I get the rest of my fonts in this box? Thanks.

I'm having difficulty getting this to work. Any help would be appreciated. What I'm trying to do is to open Explorer onto the Windows/fonts directory and then close it.

I had the same problem in VB6 and VBA as with VB.net. Searching the newsgroups...

I saw a few posts on this newsgroup about it but nothing to help me resolve this problem: We designed a window in .NET on a platform using small fonts (120 ppp). But this window will run on servers configured with large fonts. For a reason I cant explain, not only the font changes when settings the window on large font but all the widgets seem to be resized. This is kind of problematic because I have to redraw (resize) all the widgets...

Hi all Have a customer that wants a specific font included in her web page design; Comic Sans MS. This is one of the MS core fonts. The problem I have is that some of the *nix browsers do NOT include these fonts by default. http://www.diamondvet.com/test renders those fonts correctly using an XP box. After I installed those fonts on my machine, firefox and mozilla both rendered them correctly. So here is the question:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
