The following code example uses an EditorAttribute to associate the FontEditor with a property.


<EditorAttribute(GetType(System.Drawing.Design.FontEditor), GetType(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))>  _
Public Property testFont() As Font
   Get
      Return font
   End Get
   Set
      font = value
   End Set
End Property
Private font As Font


[EditorAttribute(typeof(System.Drawing.Design.FontEditor), typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]
public Font testFont
{
    get
    {
        return font;
    }
    set
    {
        font = value;
    }
}
private Font font;


public:
   [EditorAttribute(System::ComponentModel::Design::CollectionEditor::typeid,
      System::Drawing::Design::UITypeEditor::typeid)]
   property System::Drawing::Font^ testFont 
   {
      System::Drawing::Font^ get()
      {
         return font;
      }
      void set( System::Drawing::Font^ value )
