[RESOLVED] EnumFontFamiliesEx callback only being called once

I found this code posted form 2010. It is supposed to enum all the fonts on the system including those registered dynamically using the gdi32.dll call AddFontResource().

My understanding is that my callback function "fontCallback" should be getting executed once for each font on the system (or at least once for each font family).

Well I haven't been able to test out if my dynamically registered font appears in the list because my callback delegate is only getting called once and the only value I receive for lpelfe.elfFullName is "System".

Any thoughts as to what my problem could be? This apparently has worked for others.

I have tested on WIN32, WIN64, XP and Windows 7 all with the same results.

My results are the same whether I choose FontCharSet.ANSI_CHARSET or FontCharSet.DEFAULT_CHARSET.

See the Return Value section in the EnumFontFamExProc documentation:

Quote:

---

Return value

The return value must be a nonzero value to continue enumeration; to stop enumeration, the return value must be zero.

---

Your code:

Code:

---

public int fontCallback(ref ENUMLOGFONTEX lpelfe, ref NEWTEXTMETRICEX lpntme, int FontType, int lParam)
{
    int cnt = 0;
    try
    {
        int test = 0;
        listBox1.Items.Add(lpelfe.elfFullName);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(e.ToString());
    }
    return cnt; // Always returns 0 which ends the enumeration
}

Thank you so much! It works now!!!
