The project im working on requires the user to be able to print reports based on information the program gathers. (ie.To, From, Cost, Username etc.etc.).
Now to make this report thing more usable im going to add lots of customizable options. For instance, row color, font size, font type, font color, header color etc.
So i added the fontDialog control to my page and for time being just called ShowDialog on a button click.
Theres an option to enable the fontDialog to allow font color to be set (ShowColor) but when i go to use this as my font it ignores the color value. i cant find where to add the color.
I would of hoped doing: -
System.Drawing.Font rowFont = fontDialog1.Font;
-
would set all the font attributes... style, face, color, size... However, it doesnt. Instead it gets everything other than color. The Color value is stored in fontDialog1.Col or but i cant find anywhere to set the value for Sys'.Draw'.Font .
Anyone know how i can set this?
Just to mention, whatever the solution is it needs to be compatible with printing(ie. DrawString etc...)
Thanks in advance,
Piercy

Color isn't associated with font, it's seperate.
If you're drawing on a graphics object, you would change the color of your pen/brush to match the colors selected.
If you're using a RichTextBox, you would set the Foreground and Background colors to their corrosponding selections from the font dialog.

Stupid mistake...
Thanks very much,

Hi,
I am wondering why the .NET Framework is quite different from Win32 API when
it comes to displaying system modal message boxes.
Consider the four following types of system modal message boxes (please see
associated source code below):
1) Win32 API with context ("btnWin32WithContext_Click")
2) .NET Framework with context ("btnFrameworkWithContext_Click")
3) Win32 API withOUT context ("btnWin32WithOUTContext_Click")
