Multi-lingual Listbox - Different language fonts in listbox

[Silvester]

I store data in various languages in a table memo field by having a textbox
on a linked form and a language combobox that just changes the form textbox
font according to the language chosen.

I need my listbox to have the following fields:

* Language (where the name of the language is stored - in English)
* Field1
* Field2

In the Listbox the font in field1, field2 should appear in the language font
chosen by the Language field
eg:
English | woman | good
French | femme | bien

Can someone please help me with this multi-lingual listbox ?

Hi Silvester

I have developed hundreds of bilingual applications over the years. These are
quite simple to. However I fail to see why you must change the font when you
are changing between English / French...

For bilingual applications, the general format in which your data is stored
would be as follows:

ItemID - Autonumber
French - Text
English - Text

then based upon your language flag the appropriate side of the table is
displayed .

Hope this is of some help

Hi Maurice

Ok, maybe English/French was not a good example to give.

How about a listbox filled with BOTH English and Arabic data in the format
below, where field1,2 of item(1) of the listbox may be English & item(2)
could be Arabic.

Language | Field1 | Field2

Any ideas ??

As far as I know, you're restricted to a single font for a listbox.

Hi Silvester

In the case of using characters such as Arabic, then , based upon your language
flag, you can set the font of your combo box as follows:

Air code...
If MyLanguageFlag = "Arabic" then
Me.ComboBoxName.FontName="FontSelectedForArabic"
else
Me.ComboBoxName.FontName ="AnotherFontname"
endif
