Trying to set Font in VLDrawTextLayer

[BReeves]

Yep, Don't believe the actual properties are the issue, am getting them from a Font Dialogue and saving to variables that I have used many times in other software.

Everything below barfs..

FontName is an AnsiString;
FontColor is an int; // Not sure if this is right but not getting past the name stoped me and I'll deal with it later.
FontStyle is a TFontStyle;

VLDrawTextLayer1->Font->Name = FontName;
VLDrawTextLayer1->Font->Brush->Color = FontColor;
VLDrawTextLayer1->Font->Style = FontStyle;

Do you have a font named 'String with good name' ? You should use quotes for the fontname like "Microsoft Sans Serif".

On second thought you may have hit it..

I tried

VLDrawTextLayer1->Font->Name = "Microsoft Sans Serif";

And didn't receive the error.. I noticed the Font Dialogue returns
"MS Sans Serif" which is obviously different...

So guess the real question is how do I get VLDrawTextLayer1->Font to accept the properties returned from a Font Dialogue?
