Label.Font.

[dave]

Hello:

I have array of Label controls allocated danamically.

When I'm trying to change font as:
LabelLeft[i].Font.Strikeout = false;

I have error:

"Property or indexer 'System.Drawing .Font.Strikeout ' cannot be assigned to
-- it is read only"

Thank you.

I'd guess you need to create a new font.

MyLabel.Font = new Font(blah, blah);

What we think of as 'changing a property of the font' must be expressed
as 'assigning a new font which is the same as the old font except for
that particular property'. This code flips the current strikeoutness:


bool isStruckOut = LabelLeft[i].Font.Strikeout ;
Font currentFont = LabelLeft[i].Font;

if (isStruckOut)
// to remove a style component we must get the
// current style and unset the relevant bit
// with a bitmask
LabelLeft[i].Font = new Font(currentFon t,
currentFont.Sty le & ~FontStyle.Stri keout);
else
// adding a style component is easy
LabelLeft[i].Font = new Font(currentFon t,
FontStyle.Strik eout);

Try:

LabelLeft[i].Font = new Font(LabelLeft[i].Font, LabelLeft[i].Font.Style & ~FontStyle.Stri keout);
