Font Property (EditBase)

Gets or sets the font of the text displayed by the control.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Property Font As Font

'Usage
 
Dim instance As EditBase
Dim value As Font
 
instance.Font = value
 
value = instance.Font

public override Font Font {get; set;}

Property Value

The System.Drawing.Font to apply to the text displayed by the control. The default is the value of the System.Windows.Forms.Control.DefaultFont property.

Remarks

The Font property is an ambient property. An ambient property is a control property that, if not set, is retrieved from the parent control. For example, a System.Windows.Forms.Button will have the same System.Windows.Forms.Control.BackColor as its parent System.Windows.Forms.Form by default. For more information about ambient properties, see the System.Windows.Forms.AmbientProperties class or the System.Windows.Forms.Control class overview.

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

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 2000 Professional (SP4), Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server (SP1), Windows 2008, Windows XP (SP2), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
