Using FontComboBox in PropertyGrid

[Francois R. Renaud]

I am trying to replace the FontStyle Family property to display a list of Fonts using the FontComboBox instead of the standard string box. Can somebody help as I am always getting one item (none) in my drop-down list and a list of all FontComboBox properties as sub-properties?

Hi Francois,

Please follow the code below to achieve this :

this.propgrid.SelectedObject = new FontComboBoxInPropertyGrid();

public class FontComboBoxInPropertyGrid
{
bool _cb;

[Editor(typeof(FontComboBoxInPropertyGridEditor),typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]

public bool Cb
{
get{return _cb;}
set{_cb=value;}
}
}

public class FontComboBoxInPropertyGridEditor : UITypeEditor
{
public override bool GetPaintValueSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
{
return true;
}

public override void PaintValue(PaintValueEventArgs e)
{
// Have your custom method here to draw the FontComboBox }
}

Please let me know if you need further assiatance. Thanks for choosing Syncfusion products.

Thank you for the advice. I was trying to draw the FontListBox directly in UIEditor EditValue instead of using the method DropDownControl:

FontListBox flb = new FontListBox();
edSvc.DropDownControl(flb);

Hi Francois,

Thanks for the update. I would appreciate if you could create a Direct-Trac incident in this regard, and provide us with the following information :

1. A test sample that shows your implementation of this.

2. Does this "FontStyle Family property" that you are referring to belong to a custom control that you have created ?
