Setting multiple Fonstyle enums individually ... is it possible?

[Harag]

I need to set multiple Fontsyle enums individually but so far I have found
that you can only set a Fontyle on creation of a new Font.

My one other option is to build a function to to select between all the
possible combinations of the Fonstyle enums and then create the Font but
that is ugly to say the least.

The oher option would be if the OR delimited list of Fontstyle enumscould be
passed as variable but I have no idea of what that type should be if at all
possible.

Any help or pointers in a direction would much appreciated.

Found the solution, I work with the int values of the enumerators doing the
OR's and then cast the answer back to FontStyle.

int FontStyleOR = 0 ;

if(chkControlFo ntBold.Checked)
{
FontStyleOR = (int)FontStyle. Bold;
}

if(chkControlFo ntItalic.Checke d)
{
FontStyleOR = FontStyleOR | (int)FontStyle. Italic;
}

if(chkControlFo ntStrikeout.Che cked)
{
FontStyleOR = FontStyleOR | (int)FontStyle. Strikeout;
}

if (chkControlFont Underline.Check ed)
{
FontStyleOR = FontStyleOR | (int)FontStyle. Underline;
}

Font x = new
Font(textContro lFont.Text,(flo at)Convert.ToDo uble(textContro lFontSize.Text) ,
(FontStyle)Font StyleOR );

All this casting isn't necessary; you can work directly with the
enumerations. For example:

FontStyle fs = FontStyle.Regul ar;

fs = fs | FontStyle.Bold;

fs = fs | FontStyle.Itali c;

Debug.WriteLine (fs.ToString() + " = " + ((int)fs).ToStr ing());

This prints out: "Bold, Italic = 3"
