Ok...I'm working on a simple type word processor. Just soemthing to play with cuz I got bored. I have a combobox thats filled with all the font familes on my system. I want to be able to select a font from the combobox and have that selection be the font for my TextBox that is the word processor.
So I have a Menu, a Toolbar, a Textbox (to type in), and now a Comboxbox (up near the toolbar which lists all the fonts installed on my system). How do I select one of those fonts in the Combobox and have it become the font for my Textbox?
Here's what I have in the Form Load Event.
I figure I need to use the SelectedIndexChange event from the combobox control, but from there I'm stuck. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks!

VB.NET:
Private Sub frmScribble_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'set font combobox
Dim ComboFonts As Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection
ComboFonts = New Drawing.text.InstalledFontCollection
Dim Family As FontFamily
For Each Family In ComboFonts.Families
cboFonts.Items.Add(Family.Name)
Next
cboFonts.SelectedIndex = 0
End Sub
