Overview

With this control, you can select a font among those available on the Windows machine. This is a standard ActiveX control, therefore it can be used in all applications supporting the ActiveX technology.

Where is the demo ?

As this is an ActiveX, I have made it available online. In order to see it running, I suggest that you download the control and then install it in the Windows Registry by using the command line - RegSvr32.exe FontCombo.dll. Next, click on the link below to see the control display under its different display modes:
