Though we tend to use three different profile types - those for scanners, monitors and printers, the ICC has actually created a total of 7 different profile types.

Then, when the window is loaded, the Font specifications are stored in the FontInfo class, and the color, the family, the typeface and the size of the specified font are passed to the controls.Ĭopy Code public partial class ColorFontDialog : Window First, the font is set calling the Font property. The interesting part regards how the dialog "synchronizes" its controls to display a font suggested by the user. The C# code behind the XAML is trivial, as it handles the OK button setting the Font property that exposes the font selected by the user. Notice how the Window makes use of the User Controls defined above, as objects belonging to the "local:" namespace. The following is the XAML source code of the dialog window: In this case the programmer can fetch the selected color by retrieving the property "Font" of the Dialog class, and apply it to any WPF Control by using the utility static method "ApplyFont" defined in the FontInfo class. The Font Picker is served as a normal Dialog window, returning "true" if the user presses "OK". Private void colorPicker_ColorChanged( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) I added this feature by modifying the CollectionViewSource resource as follows:Ĭopy Code public partial class ColorFontChooser : UserControl The original control did not sort the list of fonts.

Also, the Font Picker had to let the user choose the font foreground color.Īn important requisite, that was missing from the works quoted in the credits, was that the dialog form should be able to be initialized with a "current" font. The Font Picker had to allow the user to choose a font with every option: family, style, size, weight and stretch.

I decided to build a "WPF User Control" in the form of two different reusable controls (the Color Picker and the Font Picker) and a Window Dialog in the fashion of Windows Forms Task Dialogs. I needed in first place a pluggable WPF library, so that I can easily add it to any of my projects. Without these two noticeable pieces of software, my WPF Font Picker would have never seen the light. The second one is the Color Combobox Picker by Muhammed Sudheer. My WPF Font Picker is based on the remix of two different works: a Font Chooser in XAML and a Color Combobox control. The first one is the Pure XAML Font Chooser by Cheng Norris. Well, not entirely on my own: as any smart programmer knows, nothing is built from scratch anymore. Since I needed one, I decided to write one on my own. Surprisingly, the Windows Presentation Framework (WPF) comes with no predefined dialog forms, so for instance there is no Font Dialog or Color Dialog in the default toolbox.
