Changing the Font to Bold

[Henry Jones]

I found some code to change the font on a button to bold:

private void btnBold_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)

{

btnCalculate.Fo nt = new Font(btnCalcula te.Font,

btnCalculate.Fo nt.Style | FontStyle.Bold) ;

}

everything is cool. It works. I then wanted to change the font back to
normal:

private void btnNormal_Click (object sender, System.EventArg s e)

{

this.btnCalcula te.Font = new Font(btnCalcula te.Font,

btnCalculate.Fo nt.Style | FontStyle.Regul ar);

}

It doesn't work. Why can't I change the font back to Normal?

Thank you.

In the statement:

btnCalculate.Fo nt = new Font(btnCalcula te.Font
btnCalculate.Fo nt.Style| FontStyle.Bold) ;

you are using "|" operation btnCalculate.Fo nt.Style| FontStyle.Bold,
which added the Bold style of the original style ( I assume it is normal).

And then again, in the second function, this.btnCalcula te.Font = new
Font(btnCalcula te.Font, btnCalculate.Fo nt.Style | FontStyle.Regul ar);
you are doing another "|" operation, which takes no effect. Since
Font.Style is already FontStyle.Regul ar|FontStyle.Bo ld.

I will do this instead:

private void btnBold_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
btnCalculate.Fo nt = new Font(btnCalcula te.Font, FontStyle.Bold) ;

}
private void btnNormal_Click (object sender, System.EventArg s e)

{

this.btnCalcula te.Font = new Font(btnCalcula te.Font,FontSty le.Regular);

}
