WPF: List of fonts in combo

[moondaddy]

I have a list of fonts in a combo. how to I make each item in the list use
that font as it's (the item's) style similar to viewing a list of fonts in
Word?

<ComboBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" x:Name="Font"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="24" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
ItemsSource="{x:Static Fonts.SystemFontFamilies}"/>
Thanks.

Hi George,

To get what you want, you need to implement a DataTemplate for the items of
the ComboBox control.

The following is a sample:

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{x:Static Fonts.SystemFontFamilies}">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" FontFamily="{Binding}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,

Rather than binding the item source, just fill the box in the owner's
loaded event by looping through all the fonts in
Fonts.SystmFontFamilies and making the ComboBoxItem.FontFamily match
the font name you put in the item.
