Apply Embedded Font to UltraWinGrid
posted

Is there any way to use an embedded font on the Grid?

I've tried loading up my own font using this method

 

=======================================================

 PrivateFontCollection pfc = new PrivateFontCollection();

      Assembly assembly = this.GetType().Assembly;

      using (Stream fontStream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("....font.ttf"))

      {

        if (null != fontStream)

        {

 

          int fontStreamLength = (int)fontStream.Length;

 

          IntPtr data = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(fontStreamLength);

 

          byte[] fontData = new byte[fontStreamLength];

          fontStream.Read(fontData, 0, fontStreamLength);

 

          Marshal.Copy(fontData, 0, data, fontStreamLength);

 

          pfc.AddMemoryFont(data, fontStreamLength);

 

          Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(data);

 

          Font newFont = new Font(pfc.Families[0], 8, FontStyle.Regular);

 

          m_grid.Font = newFont;

        }

      }

 

=======================================================

And the grid eventually throws an error about GetName on the font family.  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,
Mike

    Hi Mike,

    I'm not really all that familiar with embedding fonts, but I can't see any reason the grid would be any different than any other control in this regard. In fact, the Font property is not a property on the grid, it's a property on Control.

    Does you font work with any other controls?
