How do you programatically set Label Font size

[Mike]

I am trying to set the font size on a Label control. Seems like a simple
item but I can't find a way to do it.
I can set other properties for a Label like Borderstyle, BackColor,
Fontstyle=BOLD etc.
I'm using VB.NET 2003.

Thanks for any feedback

You have to create a new instance of font. If you need just to change the
size, this

Label1.Font = New Font(Label1.Fon t.FontFamily,20 )

might be the easiest way. If you need more options, you can use another
constructor to create for example bolded text.

Hi,
Using VB 2005,
Could you find "font" on label's property window then you should be
able to tweak front types / sizes.

Or if you want to set font of label on runtime, you can use for
example;

Dim myfont As New Font("Sans Serif", 26, FontStyle.Regul ar)
label1.font = myfont

... where argument "26" is your font size that you can set to what you
desire.

Thanks,

Assign a Font object to the Font property.

Ozur,

Dim myfont As New Font("Sans Serif", 26, FontStyle.Regul ar)
label1.font = myfont

this is the same in 2003

I would prefer:
label1.Font = New Fontlabel1.Font .FontFamily, 26, label1.Font.Sty le)

That way everything is the same except the size even if the font
family or style change later.
