textFormat for ComboBox values

[fou99004]

I have a combobox full of font names. I was thinking that it would be pretty cool to have the actual font format show in the label as well. I haven't found anything on this though. Is there a way to set this capability? Thanks.

Very nice work. Thanks a ton. There is so much that can be done with the components and I am just barely learning them. This is one of the coolest things that I have seen in a while. Thanks for your help.

I have a question and a suggestion.

The question is what actually sets the fonts in the scroll area the first time. I am having a problem getting that part working. I am thinking it is myCB.open(); because that is the only thing I don't have in mine yet. No just kidding that was dumb. I still don't know why it isn't setting the fonts in the scroll region, the onchange part is working fine though.

The suggestion is this:
just one small thing that I noticed that you might want to add. You set your style with your change function but you don't actually set it in your init function. Nothing that big but I just thought you would want to know.
