Hi,
I have a datagrid view in which user can specify
1. Text
2. FontName
3. Font Style
4. Font Size

like for example

DataGridView

Text Column FontName FontStyle FontSize ----->Columns

Text1 combobox combobox combobox ---->Row1
Text2 combobox combobox combobox -------->Row2

Is this is best way for giving user an option to select the Font or we can reduce it into one column??? if yes then please suggest the best way for doing this.

I have tried addind a button in datagridview columns , if user click the button the user is prompted with a FontDialog in which user can select the font related properties. The problem is where can I display all those properties... On the button itself ??

Thanks,
Ashish

Yes, there are many options to go for.

You can create a small form withas size of you desire for popup.
You can have 4 TextBox(s) in the form for X, Y, Width &Height. And, a button like "OK".

When, Location (+) from your datagrid is clicked, you can open this popup form.

On the click of OK from the popup form, you can perform your desired action.

Do you have ny issues in displaying the Font Info. in a column with TextBox?
Something like:

Text Column FontDetail FontDialog ----->Columns

Text1Font Family: Arial, Font Size: 10 button ---->Row1
Text2 Font Family: Verdana, Font Size:8 button -------->Row2

Each time when font is chosen from the Font dialog box, you can update the TextBox in FontDetail column with the Font Info from the Font Dialog.

Thanks for the suggestionAbhijeet... This answers my question

Abhijeet,

I have to provide Four extra columns for Text Location. Is there is any way to open the subgrid which gives user an option to input the X, Y , Width , Height ?

Like for example

Text Column FontDetail FontDialog Location ----->Columns

Text1Font Family: Arial, Font Size: 10 button+ ---->Row1
Text2 Font Family: Verdana, Font Size:8 button+ - ------->Row2

User can click the + under the Location columns a sub grid will pop ups

X Y Width Height ----->Columns

Thanks
