Q: 

How to create MS word like Symbol Insert dialog in WPF

Hi

I am planning to create a insert symbol or alphabet dialog/window in WPF more or less like the one in MS Word. The window should list all fonts with subset dropdown. Anyone who can show me a way how to go about developing this. C# is preferable.

A: 

You could use the ribbon control or look for ribbon control samples.Try devcomponent

or roll your on custom listbox ?

Thanks abmv. The codeproject article helped me to understand how the UI will be created. But my concern is more on how to get the the alphabets and subsets as a dropdown (as in MS word symbol insert dialog). I think this will be in code behind where I can fetch all characters of a font family and show them on buttons. Again I can see them as per subset dropdown. Any help on this?

you can use databinding after you get the data as a collection or dataset or whatever
