System Font

[Guest]

How do I get the System Font that is used in message boxes, etc. so I can set
in code my control to use the same font? Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Dim fnt As Font = SystemFonts.DialogFont

I made a guess and tried this before but I get an error saying that
SystemFonts is not defined. What Import and references do I have to have in
order to use this. I also can't seem to find SystemFonts Class in the help
files.

..NET 1.0/1.1 do not provide a managed way to determine this font. You may
want to use the "Microsoft Shell Dlg"/"Microsoft Sans Serif" or Tahoma fonts
instead which are used by most Windows applications.
