Changing a Control's Font Size during runtime

[Jeff N]

It it possible to change a button's or text box's font size during runtime?

When I try to build my application with this code:
this.ActiveControl.Font.Size = "8.25";
I get this error message:
Property or indexer "System.Drawing.Font.Size' cannot be assigned to -- it
is read only

I can change a button's text property during runtime, but I'd also like to
change the font size as well.

Font is immutable. You cannot change its value. However, you can set the
Font property on the control you're working with, say,

this.ActiveControl.Font = new Font(this.ActiveControl.Font.FontFamily, 8.25,
this.ActiveControl.Font.Style);

-vJ

new Font(this.Font.FontFamily, 12, this.Font.Style);
