button font bold

[anthony]

hi,

why can't i set the font of a button to bold at run time (it's read only), i
can only set at design time. it can be done in vb6.

thx

You can, you just have to do it the same way that the designer does it.
Remember all the does designer is place code in the Web For Designer region,
you can go look in there to see what it does. In your case you have to make
a new font object and apply it to the button.

Hope it helps.

Button1.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25!,
System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0,
Byte))

thx, i should hv looked more b4 i posted, ur method works and i found this
too:

btnCalculateSpeed.Font = New Font(btnCalcBestTrip.Font, FontStyle.Bold)

Yes there are several overloaded methods for making a font, any of them will
work to create the font object.

Good luck, happy fonting
