Why Trust Us

To let a user change a font name, load all the fonts into a combo box:

 Private Sub Form_Load()        ' Determine the number of screen         ' fonts.        For I = 0 To Screen.FontCount - 1                  ' Put each font into list box.                cboFont.AddItem Screen.Fonts(I)         Next IEnd Sub

Make this more useful by letting your users see what the font looks like immediately after selecting it withouthaving to “test” it by typing something:

 Private Sub cboFont_Click()        'Set the FontName of the combo box         'to the font that was selected.        cboFont.FontName = cboFont.Text   End Sub
