Re: Beginner question.

Me refers to the form...you'll need to set the Font Property of the button
b/c The Bold property of the font is a boolean and read only.

myButton.Font = New System.Drawing. Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25!,
System.Drawing. FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing. GraphicsUnit.Po int, CType(0,
Byte))

Re: Beginner question.

Hi William,

thx for the code example. Is this the only way to make
the text bold? Im used to vb6

mybutton.font.b old = true

can i not do this in vb.net?

I tried to edit your code to just make the text bold
rather than set the fontstyle etc, but it did work!

this is what i tried..

myButton.Font = New System.Drawing. Font
(System.Drawing .FontStyle.Bold )

I not to clear on what the rest of the code does!!

How do i make the text non-bold? do i use the true and
false values of the bold property?

thx

This creates a deafult font with FontStyle.Bold.

Create a spesific font with it's name and size spesified which is also bold.
