When working on the
Reflection Builder, I wanted checkboxes for showing/hiding canvases and controls. Of course, WPF/E doesn't have controls, so my first thought was to use a line of text as a checkbox with the first character being a WingDing character that looks like an unchecked checkbox.
That simple statement was actually harder than it sounded because of the
'standard' fonts included in WPF/E. WingDings was not in the list. WebDings is, but WebDings doesn't have the same two boxes. On the
WPF/E Forum, I was told I could put the character up as a Glyph.
In
http://www.wynapse.com/WPFE/WPFE_Glyph_Explorer.aspx, I show a way to map the Indice codes to the Glyph character.
