Change a font programmatically

Question

C# doesn't like the following code:

private void btnSizeRandom_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  btnSizeRandom.Font.Bold = true;
  btnother.Font.Bold = false;
}

Is there a way to do this programatically?

Answer 1

Instances of Font are immutable. You need to construct a new Font and assign it to the Font property. The Font class has various constructors for this purpose; they copy another instance and change the style in the process.

+1 And just to round out the great answer: btnSizeRandom.Font = new Font(btnSizeRandom.Font, FontStyle.Bold); – Denn

@Denn Additionally, you need: new system.Drawing.Font(btnSizeRandom.Font, FontStyle.Regular); – Mellissamellitz

Answer 2

    private static Font ChangeBoldStyle(Font org, bool bold) {
        FontStyle style = org.Style;
        if (bold) style |= FontStyle.Bold;
        else style &= ~FontStyle.Bold;
        return new Font(org, style);
    }
