Hello,

When I try to retrieve the selected font size value after MHFontDialog.execute, I get wrong value, always a bit bigger that selected one : if I select 8 size then I get 11, if I select 14, then I get 19.

Any idea ?

Thanx

It is font height, not font size.
I don"t know is there any conversion function for this.

Nice, thank you (I did a search in forum for "MHFontDialog" before asking but did not thought searching on "font.height") , just have to change the

MyHeight := -10 * PixelsPerInch / 72;

to

MySize := -10 / (PixelsPerInch / 72);

To get Height to Size conversion, strange that MHFontDialog do not include such usual property that is part of the font dialog elements like the Name or Style.

Sorry ECM, your link is russian, I don"t read it but I see a link in the thread that also point to http://delphimaster.net/view/11-1124270752/

Life cycle of threads in a forum:

Link http://delphimaster.net/view/11-1124270752/ was trashed and search in what would not result.... :)

Use getsystemmetrics and add 2. Then you are almost always very close.
