I use CXTPPropertyGridItemFont::FontToString() to store a font.

But, why it have no StringToFont() that I can restore it ?

Hi,

Think you have save/load LOGFONT instead of string. Get and Set it using pItem->GetFont() and pItem->SetFont.

Because of LOGFONT is a binary structure, it is hard to store into a file and edited by general text editor like NotePad.

I wish to use FontToString() that convert the FONT into a String and store it into .ini with ::WritePrivateProfileString(), then restore the FONT with ::GetPrivateProfileString() and StringToFont().

Because I saw CXTPPropertyGridItemColor::RGBToString() and StringToRGB(), I think it's better that codejoke provide FontToString() and StringToFont() pair.
