- how can I load into a combobox the list of the fonts installed in the system. I know how to add an item to a combobox, but I couldn`t find how to get the font list

What about search net? Have you tried http://gethelp.devx.com/techtips/pb_...10min0200b.asp for a start?

- I want to be able to have more then one file open at a time

You can do it. What is the problem?

... right now I have an array in which I store the name of the files, and when I switch between files I save the current file in a temp file. This works but it`s not very nice, so if someone could suggest a better solution.

Sure, a vector or array or container of some sort that holds the file pointers/streams would work well.

- I select some some text and I want to change it`s font size (the font size I select from a combobox). The problem is that when I click the combobox to choose the desired font size, the text that was selected is not selected anymore. This should be simple but I couldn`t find a solution

I'm sure you can set selected text; that might work, but it's a kind of kludge. I guess comboboxes take focus when you click on them. You could try another kind of widget.
