Property Value

A reference to a System.Drawing.Font object representing the font to use. If a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), then the parent's font is used.

Because the System.Drawing.Font object is immutable (meaning that you cannot adjust any of its properties), you can only assign the Font property a new Font object. However, you can base the new font on the existing font.

To reset the value of the Font property to its default value, DefaultFont, the ResetFont method must be called or the Font property set to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

The following example demonstrates how to adjust the font of a grid element to make it bold:

Visual Basic

gridElement.Font = New Font( gridElement.Font, gridElement.Font.Style Or FontStyle.Bold )

C#

gridElement.Font = new Font( gridElement.Font, gridElement.Font.Style | FontStyle.Bold );

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
