save

When you open a font dialog box in vb.net a change the font, how do you save the changes that was made to the font. Could someone send me some sample code on how to save changes in vb.net?

Save changes how/where ? Do you mean just keep the details of the font for next time ?

Yes, just keep the details of the font for next time.

That used to be the propertybag object in VB6 it didn't get carried over to .Net. I've used a XML file in the past to save and recall the information I needed. Hope that helps :)

In your application properties, go to settings. Here you can add properties that can be change and saved at runtime. Click the first item that says newsetting etc. and type "SaveFont" when prompted. Then in the type you can select system.drawing.font or something along those lines. Then in your code: If fontdialog.showdialog = OK then my.settings.savefont = 'font you selected end if On form load you can then reload the setting: dim myfont as system.drawing.font mycontrol.font = new font(myfont.fontfamily,myfont.size,myfont.style) **Note:**This will not save the font colour only style, size and font family. If you want to save font colour you will have to add another setting. Also note my code might not be 100% accurate but its pretty close.
