Dynamic Font change for buttons

[Jim]

Working with VB.net under VS.Net 2003.

Have a simple form with a Button1. I want to change the
font on the button when the button is clicked.

Is there a way to Dynamically change the Font for Button1
from regular to bold, change the size etc. This line of
code:
Button1.Font.Bold = True

gives an error:
property is read only.

I know it can be changed in the designer, but the users
would like some further emphasis in the button label if
the button has been clicked.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Button1.Font = New Font(Button1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)

Button1.Font = New Font(Button1.Font, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic)

The properties of Button.Font are read-only. So if you need to change any
properties, just create a new font from the existing one with the changed
property(ies) and assign it to Button.font.

hope that helps..
