Font to bold, italic, underline only

[Adam Honek]

Okay,

Assinging the font and its style (bold, italic etc.) using the font dialog
is easy such as:
FontDialog1.Sho wDialog()

txtEmailBody.Se lectionFont = FontDialog1.Fon t

But how does one change the selected text to bold, italic or underlined
without using the font dialog?

I've looked under .selectionfont and.selectedtex t and can't see any way to
change it to bold, italic etc. All I see is a read-only property that tells
me if its bold, italic etc.

There's go to be a way. All these apps have these small B, I, U buttons.

Initialize a font, tweak it and assign it? Is that really the only way?

Thanks,

Adam

Removing a certain font style:

\\\
EmailBody.Selec tionFont = _
New Font( _
EmailBody.Selec tionFont, _
EmailBody.Selec tionFont.Style And Not FontStyle.Bold _
)
///

Adding a font style: '... = New Font(..., EmailBody.Selec tionFont Or
FontStyle.Bold) '.
