To run this example, create a form with a list box on it. The code for the form is as follows:
Option Explicit Private Sub Form_Load() Module1.FillListWithFonts List1 End Sub
Place the following code in a module. The third argument in the definition of the EnumFontFamilies function is a Long that represents a procedure. The argument must contain the address of the procedure, rather than the value that the procedure returns. In the call to EnumFontFamilies, the third argument requires the AddressOf operator to return the address of the EnumFontFamProc procedure, which is the name of the callback procedure you supply when calling the Windows API function, EnumFontFamilies. Windows calls EnumFontFamProc once for each of the font families on the system when you pass AddressOf EnumFontFamProc to EnumFontFamilies. The last argument passed to EnumFontFamilies specifies the list box in which the information is displayed.
