.. _wx.FontPickerCtrl:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.FontPickerCtrl**
==========================================================================================================================================

This control allows the user to select a font.          

The generic implementation is a button which brings up a :ref:`wx.FontDialog`  when clicked. Native implementation may differ but this is usually a (small) widget which give access to the font-chooser dialog. It is only available if  ``USE_FONTPICKERCTRL``   is set to 1 (the default). 





.. _FontPickerCtrl-styles:

|styles| Window Styles
================================

This class supports the following styles: 

  

- ``wx.FNTP_DEFAULT_STYLE``: The default style: ``wx.FNTP_FONTDESC_AS_LABEL`` | ``wx.FNTP_USEFONT_FOR_LABEL``.  
- ``wx.FNTP_USE_TEXTCTRL``: Creates a text control to the left of the picker button which is completely managed by the :ref:`wx.FontPickerCtrl`  and which can be used by the user to specify a font (see SetSelectedFont). The text control is automatically synchronized with button's value. Use functions defined in :ref:`wx.PickerBase`  to modify the text control.  
- ``wx.FNTP_FONTDESC_AS_LABEL``: Keeps the label of the button updated with the fontface name and the font size. E.g. choosing "Times New Roman bold, italic with
              size 10" from the fontdialog, will update the label (overwriting any previous label) with the "Times New Roman, 10" text.  
- ``wx.FNTP_USEFONT_FOR_LABEL``: Uses the currently selected font to draw the label of the button.  








.. _FontPickerCtrl-events:

|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a :ref:`wx.FontPickerEvent` parameter.


- EVT_FONTPICKER_CHANGED: The user changed the font selected in the control either using the button or using text control (see ``wx.FNTP_USE_TEXTCTRL``; note that in this case the event is fired only if the user's input is valid, i.e. recognizable).

   .. method:: Create(self, parent, id=ID_ANY, font=NullFont, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=FNTP_DEFAULT_STYLE, validator=DefaultValidator, name=FontPickerCtrlNameStr)

      Creates this widget with given parameters.                  




      :param `parent`: Parent window, must not be non-NULL.   
      :type `parent`: wx.Window
      :param `id`: The identifier for the control.   
      :type `id`: wx.WindowID

      :type `validator`: wx.Validator
      :param `name`: Control name.  
      :type `name`: string




















      :rtype: `bool`



                  



      :returns: 

         ``True`` if the control was successfully created or ``False`` if creation failed.   








   .. method:: GetMaxPointSize(self)

      Returns the maximum point size value allowed for the user-chosen font.                  

      :rtype: `int`








   .. method:: GetSelectedFont(self)

      Returns the currently selected font.                  

      Note that this function is completely different from :meth:`wx.Window.GetFont` .                  

      :rtype: :ref:`wx.Font`








   .. method:: SetMaxPointSize(self, max)

      Sets the maximum point size value allowed for the user-chosen font.                  

      The default value is 100. Note that big fonts can require a lot of memory and ``CPU`` time both for creation and for rendering; thus, specially because the user has the option to specify the fontsize through a text control (see ``wx.FNTP_USE_TEXTCTRL``), it's a good idea to put a limit to the maximum font size when huge fonts do not make much sense.                  


      :param `max`: 
      :type `max`: int







   .. method:: SetSelectedFont(self, font)

      Sets the currently selected font.                  

      Note that this function is completely different from :meth:`wx.Window.SetFont` .                  


      :param `font`: 
      :type `font`: wx.Font
