IFontDisp and StdFontClass

MarkParr

I notice that several of the ArcGIS examples reference code like:

stdole.IFontDisp font = new stdole.StdFontClass() as stdole.IFontDisp;
font.Name = "Arial";
font.Bold = true;


However whenever I try to compile this I get the error:

Error 7 The type 'stdole.StdFontClass' has no constructors defined


What's missing?

This function works for me:

private static stdole.IFontDisp GetFont(string fontName)         {             stdole.IFontDisp dispFont = (stdole.IFontDisp)new stdole.StdFont();             dispFont.Name = fontName;             return dispFont;         }

Be sure to add a reference to stdole.dll to your project.
