Anyone know how to put mixed fonts on an object? I want to have a superscript character contained in the text on my button, for instance to denote "power of" x "to the power of" y, without having to use the ugly x ^ y
I'm supposing this can't be done as I suspect that you can only use plain text in a single font. But if it can be, I'd like to figure out how.
If anyone knows or could figure it out, I'd be greatful to know.

If this is a windows program, you can do ownerdraw stuff and draw your own strings on the button. That way you can change fonts whenever you want?

I've not looked into this yet. OwnerDraw you say... I'll check it out, thanks. Any good resources on that? From the few sites I've found discussing it, it seems like a lot of work just to add a floating y into the text... I may just skip it and put a picture on the button cheesy as that is. :oP
Well, by "ownerdraw" I pretty much just mean handling the paint method yourself.
It's just a Graphics object, so you are free to draw an image on there or anything else you want as well.

When you say the paint method though, that to me means that if I want it to have that pretty XP look, I've gotta handle all that too? It would be nice if I could OwnerDraw just the text bit of the object, that would be nice...
you could probably do like base.Paint() or something before your drawing stuff?
Although I guess you would have to inherit the button class and make a custom button class for that.

Hmm, I'll check that out, maybe that's worth looking at. Cheers
