set default font when adding a new textbox to a windows form

[Rex]

Hi - Is there any way to set default Properties - so that when I add a
new textbox to a form - that that control wil start out using Arial
10 (for instance)?
Thanks!

Hi,
If you want to change textbox's font size / family at runtime, you
have to create a new instance of font as follows:

textBox1.Font = new Font("Arial", 10);

And if you want to set it by default before launching your
application, just set font's properties in textbox's properties window
on VS IDE.

Hope this helps,

I think if you sent the font on the Form rather than the text box then
each text box that is added to that form will be the same. If all of your
forms inherit from another form with a set font then all forms, thus text
boxes will follow the super Form.

Hi j1mb0jay - Thank you! You are exactly right - I just tried it with
one form. That was very helpful - thanks again,
