    <p>I have been searching around for a way to list the valid font styles for a given font using the .Net framework (even if I have to pinvoke gdi32 or some other API) since not all fonts fall into the System.Drawing.FontStyle enum values (Bold, Italic, Regular, Strikeout, Underline). A perfect example of a font that does not fit the bill is Segoe UI, which is a TrueType Microsoft font, with font styles of: Regular, Semibold, Light, Bold, Italic, and BoldItalic. Another example is Arial which has: Regular, Narrow, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, Narrow Bold, Narrow Bold Italic, and Narrow Italic.</p> <p>In Windows 7 (probably vista as well, but I don't have a machine to check) when you open explorer and browse to %SystemRoot%\Fonts you will see a column called "Font style" which lists out all of the available styles for each font, which tells me that there is definitely a way to do this, at the very least through API calls.</p> <p>Ultimately, I am looking to enumerate the FontFamily list, and then list out every font style for each family. Below is sample code for listing out all of the font families, if anyone could provide assistance for listing the font styles available for each family, I would appreciate it. If I am going about this the wrong way, I am definitely open to suggestions.</p> <pre><code>Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection ifc = new Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection(); foreach ( FontFamily ff in ifc.Families ) { Console.WriteLine(ff.ToString()); // Something like this would be nice, but AFAIK nothing similar exists /* foreach ( FontStyle style in ff.Styles ) Console.WriteLine(style.ToString()); */ } </code></pre>

    1. COOne thing to note: Another example that shows what I want to do would simply be to open the text tool in photoshop, which has a separate drop down listing all of the font styles. The way mspaint does it where it separates the special families (Segoe UI Light, Segoe UI Semibold) would also be acceptable, but that is not how the InstalledFontCollection seems to work, so this way might need to be done through API calls entirely...

    2. COI misspoke here... the way mspaint does it is actually exactly how my sample code works. This is _not_ actually what I am looking for. Sorry... I'm not thinking 100% clearly o_O

    3. COI've been needing to finalize a solution regarding this very same thing for a while now - your question is prompting me to do that. My solution doesn't use `EnumFontFamiliesEx` - rather, it reads the registry and then loops through all the fonts to find them and their information, include style (i.e. sub-family). I do this because I need direct access to the physical font right after finding the one I need in order to embed it in my program. Oh, and I do it in VB.NET instead of C#. Once I have it, I'll post the code.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
