Hi,
i have recently made a fontpicker, mostly for practice. I have used an example which uses databinding as a basis to build on.
Now the problem i have is this:
When i open the fontpicker for the second time, i want the font that was chosen the first time to be visible. I am trying to do this by passing values to the FontInfo property of the dialog. Unfortunately i can't apply those values, because the properties of the preview textbox are all bound. Setting these properties to the values in FontInfo will overwrite these bindings. How do i get around this problem?
(Is there any way to also bind the properties of txtPreview to variables in the context?)
i.e. the following does not work:
