Drawing controls question - Visual Basic .NET

Brad

This should be an easy question, but I have not found the answer. I am now
learning how to create my own controls and draw them to a form. But my
specific question is when I have a label that I want to BOLD, how do I set
the label text to be bold?

Thanks for the information.

' Adding bold style.
Me.Label1.Font = _
New Font(Me.Button1.Font, Me.Label1.Font.Style And Not FontStyle.Bold)

' Removing bold style.
Me.Label1.Font = _
New Font(Me.Button1.Font, Me.Label1.Font.Style Or FontStyle.Bold)

New Font(Me.Button1.Font, Me.Label1.Font.Style And Not FontStyle.Bold)

' Removing bold style.
Me.Label1.Font = _
New Font(Me.Button1.Font, Me.Label1.Font.Style Or FontStyle.Bold)

Should that not be the other way around??

Adding :
.... New Font( ... Font.Style Or FontStyle.Bold )

Removing :
.... New Font( ... Font.Style And Not FontStyle.Bold )
