How do I set the font of a TextBox from a string in the code behind?

// example
txtEditor.FontFamily = "Consolas";

Not a stupid question. – Hicks

Answer 1

txtEditor.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Consolas"); // the Media namespace

If txtEditor is a System.Windows.Forms.TextBox, there is no FontFamily property on that object, but there is a Font property. – Min

Answer 2

Use the following syntax:

lblCounting.Font  = new Font("Times New Roman", 50);

Where lblCounting is just any label.

Use the markdown and formatting tools to make your code display as code: lblCounting.Font = new Font("Times New Roman", 50); – Smell

Answer 3

System.Drawing.Font = new Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Bold);

The question asked how to set the Font but the example implied the OP wanted to set the FontFamily. This answer answers the question if not the example and is the answer I was searching for (though I needed to correct it a bit.) – Carlie

To be sure, the OP said nothing about FontFamily in the question, but you are right that it is in the example, but only for the TextBox, rather than setting the Font program-wide. – Min

Answer 4

Copy and paste your example code into the constructor of the form, right after InitializeComponent();

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        txtEditor.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Consolas");
    }
}

Answer 5

One simple way to do it globally, programmatically:

public MainWindow()
{
    this.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Segoe UI");
}
