Private Sub ChangeFontStyle(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)

    If (btn4.FontStyle = FontStyles.Italic) Then

        btn4.FontStyle = FontStyles.Normal
        btn4.Content = "FontStyle"

    Else

        btn4.FontStyle = FontStyles.Italic
        btn4.Content = "Control font style changes from Normal to Italic."
    End If
End Sub
