Hi again Laughing ,

I tried the OPTION FONTDLG FORCE Parameter but it
not seems to work.
I want to disable the styleselection (bold, etc).
So I entered OPTION FONTDLG,FORCE,NOSTYLESEL,1 (or 0)
but its alway there.

I tried other commands to - the only one which works is showhelp.

Is this a problem with my German OS (Win98) ?

Bye, Fabian

I just got around to trying the FORCE option, and it doesn't work for me either. This, I would think, is a bug. Sad Anyone know how to call the font dialog with API and to be able to disable size and sytle selection?

You can always create your own font dialog box. Smile
I think I remember seeing some code around for that, and I might have
possibly even seen a DLL that would display a windows font dialog box. Confused

You don't have to use VDSOBJECT to add a font box. Smile You can use
LIST FONTLIST and use a BITLIST element to display the fonts if you would
like Smile

However, that requires VDS 5.

I just looked at this, and it is not a bug. I cannot disable things like size or style selection even in a Delphi program. VDS is correctly setting the options. So it would seem that Windows does not allow these options to be removed from the font dialog.

I think the font dialog was implemented by SADE in VDS 4. I would be interested to know whether this option ever worked. (I don't have VDS 4 so I can't test it.)

Just a question on that, has anybody ever e-mailed CR about getting
older versions of the software? It seems to me that it would be only
fair to provide registered users with copies of software they have paid
$100+ for a license to.

I have not yet e-mailed CR about it, but someday I would like to get
a copy of VDS 4, as I have my license key somewhere around, but
not a copy of VDS 4 I don't think.

If you need a copy, I have one. I still use it sometimes. Rolling Eyes

Still have VDS 2, 3, and 4 backed up on CD so if anyone ever needs a copy of an old version just give a yell and I'll dig it up
(provided the cd is still readable)

It's a habit of me to always copy official bought software to cd for later use, I never put my trust singly on a harddisk.

Very Happy

I didn't want a copy of VDS 4, so much as someone who had a copy to try the option fontdlg and report what happened.

Hello FF,

Are you aware that requesting a new licence for each product bought at dialogscript.com provide a temporary link to a download of the selected product?

No - However, I think perhaps some of my previous invoices are not linked
to my current account, and I no longer have the details.

I will contact you about linking the accounts. Smile
I have the registered name, e-mail address, and other details if you need
them.
