The FontWeight type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Compare | Compares two instances of FontWeight. |
![]() | Equals(FontWeight) | Determines whether the current FontWeight object is equal to a specified FontWeight object. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the current FontWeight object is equal to a specified object. (Overrides ValueType::Equals(Object).) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | FromOpenTypeWeight | Creates a new instance of FontWeight that corresponds to the OpenType usWeightClass value. |
![]() | GetHashCode | Retrieves the hash code for this object. (Overrides ValueType::GetHashCode().) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToOpenTypeWeight | Returns a value that represents the OpenType usWeightClass for the FontWeight object. |
![]() | ToString | Returns a text string that represents the value of the FontWeight object and is based on the CurrentCulture property information. (Overrides ValueType::ToString().) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Equality | Compares two instances of FontWeight for equality. |
![]() ![]() | GreaterThan | Evaluates two instances of FontWeight to determine whether one instance is greater than the other. |
![]() ![]() | GreaterThanOrEqual | Evaluates two instances of FontWeight to determine whether one instance is greater than or equal to the other. |
![]() ![]() | Inequality | Evaluates two instances of FontWeight to determine inequality. |
![]() ![]() | LessThan | Evaluates two instances of FontWeight to determine whether one instance is less than the other. |
![]() ![]() | LessThanOrEqual | Evaluates two instances of FontWeight to determine whether one instance is less than or equal to the other. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | IFormattable::ToString | For a description of this member, see IFormattable::ToString. |
Weight differences are generally differentiated by an increased stroke or thickness that is associated with a given character in a typeface, as compared to a "normal" character from that same typeface.
Note Not all weights are available for all typefaces. When a weight is not available for a typeface, the closest matching weight is returned.
