5.1. Common dialogs

hwg_SelectFont( [ oFont ] )
This function calls the standard dialog for font selecting.
oFont - optional parameter, the current font object ( HFont instance ).
Return value - the array with selected font characteristics ( nHandle, fontName, nWidth, nHeight ,fnWeight, fdwCharSet, fdwItalic, fdwUnderline, fdwStrikeOut ) or Nil, if the font wasn't selected.
Usually it isn't needed to call this function directly, use
HFont():Select( oFont )
   instead.

 hwg_Getdrawiteminfo( lpDis ) (Windows only)
   
If a control has SS_OWNERDRAW style and messages for him aren't handled by HwGUI
   (look at  3.9. Inside HwGUI), 
   the handler of ON PAINT gets as a second parameter a pointer to
       DRAWITEMSTRUCT WinAPI structure, which contains an information, needed
       to draw this control. A function hwg_GetDrawItemInfo( lpDis ) extracts this info
       and returns to a programmer as an array.
   
While drawing these controls functions hwg_DefinePaintStru(),
       hwg_BeginPaint(), hwg_EndPaint() shouldn't be used.
