Font Things

[Simon Lee Cooper]

I am trying to put a combobox on a form that lists all the fonts on the
system but am having trouble getting it to list the fonts as in other
applications I have seen.

I tried to do a hard drive search for the fonts located in the windows
fonts folder but it doesnt list the font typefaces as expected.

I looked in the WIN32 help file but it didnt say much either.

Can anyone help?

btw, can anyone tell me if you get import libraries with C++ builder 1.
I was looking for commdlg32.lib to include for the page setup command,
the commdlg.h is there but not the lib. Is my install corrupt or was it
simply not shipped with builder 1?

Please help

Sounds like you need a copy of "C++Builder How-To" (Shameless Plug).

The function you call is EnumFonts in the Win 32 API..
