FIX: Problems with Font Dialog in Win CE CommonDialog Control

ID: Q192936

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

This article summarizes unexpected behavior that occurs when using the Font Dialog of the CE CommonDialog control distributed with the Windows CE ActiveX Control Pack.

RESOLUTION

Choosing a Font

Scenario 1

If you select a font in the Font dialog box in the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0 (VBCE5), the font might not be recognized as selected. To work around this problem, choose the font twice while the font dialog box is open.

Scenario 2

If you choose a font using the arrow keys to scroll through the list of fonts, the font immediately proceeding the chosen font is selected instead. This problem was corrected in Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0 (VBCE6).

Setting the Min Property

An error will occur if the Min property is set to a negative value. The Min property sets the lower limit for fonts sizes that will be available in the Font dialog. This behavior is by design.

STATUS

Scenario 2 has been fixed in Visual Basic 6.00.

The behavior in Setting the MinProperty is by design.
