Hello,

Here’s what I want to do. I am creating a drawing pad application that has the option to add text in MX 2004Pro. I would like for the user to be able to select the font they would like to use from a comboBox. The question, is there a way to have the fonts show up, in the comboBox, displaying how the font really looks?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for any help.
