FontBox class

I am just learning about classes and would like to know if this is the
correct use of class inheritence.

I have created a class called myFontBox as such:

public class myFontBox : ToolStripComboB ox
{
public myFontBox()
{
// Add the currently available font names to the combox box
foreach (FontFamily ff in System.Drawing. FontFamily.Fami lies)
if (ff.IsStyleAvai lable(FontStyle .Regular))
this.Items.Add( ff.Name);
}
}

This code is located in a file called CodeFile1.cs.

When I initialize it with:

myFontBox FontBox = new myFontBox();
toolStrip1.Item s.Add(FontBox);

everything works as it should. This code is located in a file called
Form1.cs. Both files are in the same namespace, Flash.

Now, here are my issues:
1) Is this a good use of class inheritence?
2) How do I handle events (such as when the user changes the selection)?
3) How do I initialize the FontBox.Text property? Although I know how to set
it to the desired setting, I do not know the best way to deliver it to the
class for processing. (I intend to base the initial selection on a textbox
located on the current form)

The first two are the ones I really need answers to, especially #2). The
last I may be able to figure out, once I know #2.

I appreciate any help possible.

hi, i am having a small problem with constructing an inner class. i am using an inner class (and not a static nested class) because the methods of the inner class need access to the enclosing object's members. now, i have an enclosing class, which has a static factory method (loads an instance of the enclosing class from a serialized file, and returns it). during the loading, some initialization takes place. one of the initialization...

Hi In the following code sample, I have: - a Worker class, which could have a lot of methods and attributes. In particular, it has a 'bar' attribute. This class can be modified as needed. - a Base class (old-style) which defines a default class attribute 'bar' too. I can't modify the source code of this class. Note that Workes does not inherit from Base. - a Derived class which must inherit from Base and is a wrapper around Worker: it...

Hi, I'm learning C++ as a hobby using The C++ Programming Language : Special Edition by Bjarne Stroustrup. I'm working on chpater 13 exercises that deal with templates. Exercise 13.9 asks for me to turn a previously made String class that deals with char's into a templated String class that uses the template parameter C instead of char. I thought it would be fairly simple to do this exercise, but I encoutered many errors for my...

I wrote an abstract base class from which I've derived a few other classes. I'd like to create a base class array where each element is an instance of a derived object. I can create a base class pointer which points to an instance of a derived class, but when I pass that base class pointer into a function, it can't access the derived object's public functions. Although, the base class pointer does call the appropriate virtual function...

Diehards, I developed a template matrix class back around 1992 using Borland C++ 4.5 (ancestor of C++ Builder) and haven't touched it until a few days ago. I pulled it from the freezer and thawed it out. I built a console app using Microsoft Visual C++ 6 (VC++) and it worked great. Only one line in the header file had to be commented out. I built a console app using Borland C++ Builder 5. The linker complained of references to...

I had a need recently to check if my subclasses properly implemented the desired interface and wished that I could use something like an abstract base class in python. After reading up on metaclass magic, I wrote the following module. It is mainly useful as a light weight tool to help programmers catch mistakes at definition time (e.g., forgetting to implement a method required by the given interface). This is handy when unit tests or...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
