How to save and restore font properties in the registry (3)

Problem/Question/Abstract:

What is the best way to store the font for a TDBGrid. I can change it fine with a Font Dialog but how can i store those settings so they take effect the next time the user fires up the program ?

Answer:

Save a font:


function SaveFont(F_Font: TFont): boolean;
var
  FLog: TLogFont;
  Reggy: TRegistry;
begin
  GetObject(F_Font.Handle, SizeOf(FLog), @FLog);
  Reggy := TRegistry.Create;
  try
    Reggy.OpenKey({'\REGKEYNAME'}, true);
    Reggy.WriteBinaryData({'VALUENAME'}, FLog, SizeOf(FLog));
    result := true;
  finally
    Reggy.Free;
  end;
end;


Get a font:


function SetFont(F_Font: TFont): boolean;
var
  FLog: TLogFont;
  Reggy: TRegistry;
  NewFHnd: longint;
begin
  result := false;
  Reggy := TRegistry.Create;
  try
    if Reggy.OpenKey({'\REGKEYNAME'}, false) and
      Reggy.ValueExists({'VALUENAME'}) then
    begin
      Reggy.ReadBinaryData({'VALUENAME'}, FLog, SizeOf(FLog));
      {set Font to the retrieved font}
      NewFHnd := CreateFontIndirect(FLog);
      result := (NewFHnd <> 0);
      if result then
        F_Font.Handle := NewFHnd;
    end;
  finally
    Reggy.Free;
  end;
end;
