How to set font size of a control dynamically

[Amer Rehman 0]

Hi How can I set the font size of a control dynamically e.g. label. The problem is that the font size property is readonly. Thanks

you have to assign a new font to the font (not entirly shure) property: dim f as new font ("Arial",12,...) label.font = f hope this helps

If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why. The only way we learn is by making mistakes.

You can easily change the Font Size,Style,Family by using any of the following code:

    Dim fdlg As New FontDialog()
    If fdlg.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then

        Me.Label1.Font = fdlg.Font

    End If

Alternatively you can change the font by using this code:

    Dim \_font As New Font("verdana", 24, FontStyle.Italic)
    Me.Label1.Font = \_font

Hope it helps. AliAmjad (MCP)

please try following code for increase font size (Label) Me.Label1.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("arial", 11.25!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte)) Me.Label1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(208, 24) Me.Label1.Text = "Label Font Size Change"
