.NET Framework (current version)
Gets the face name of this Font.
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
The following code example demonstrates how to use the Font constructor and the Size, SizeInPoints, Name, Style, and Unit properties. This example is designed to be used with a Windows Form that contains a ComboBox named ComboBox1 that is populated with the strings "Bigger" and "Smaller". Paste the following code into the form and associate the ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged method with the SelectedIndexChanged event of the ComboBox control.
private: void ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { // Cast the sender object back to a ComboBox. ComboBox^ ComboBox1 = (ComboBox^) sender; // Retrieve the selected item. String^ selectedString = (String^) ComboBox1->SelectedItem; // Convert it to lowercase. selectedString = selectedString->ToLower(); // Declare the current size. float currentSize; // If Bigger is selected, get the current size from the // Size property and increase it. Reset the font to the // new size, using the current unit. if (selectedString == "bigger") { currentSize = Label1->Font->Size; currentSize += 2.0F; Label1->Font =gcnew System::Drawing::Font(Label1->Font->Name, currentSize, Label1->Font->Style, Label1->Font->Unit); } // If Smaller is selected, get the current size, in // points, and decrease it by 2. Reset the font with // the new size in points. if (selectedString == "smaller") { currentSize = Label1->Font->Size; currentSize -= 2.0F; Label1->Font = gcnew System::Drawing::Font(Label1->Font->Name, currentSize, Label1->Font->Style); } }
