WinFormattedTextEditor™ includes three dialog boxes which help the end user format text. These dialog boxes can be accessed through the custom context menu or methods designed to show them. You can display the Font dialog box by invoking the ShowFontDialog method off the EditInfo object. This method will only function if there is a selection made in the WinFormattedTextEditor control.
The Font dialog box allows the end user to change styles such as font family, size, and color of formatted text. Below is a screen shot of the Font dialog box along with a description of each option.
