How to set the font of the CheckBox in C#?
The CheckBox control is the part of windows form which is used to take input from the user. Or in other words, CheckBox control allows us to select single or multiple elements from the given list. In CheckBox, you are allowed to set the font of the text displayed in the CheckBox using the Font property of the CheckBox. It makes your CheckBox more attractive.
This property is an ambient property means if we do not set the value of this property, then it will be retrieved from the parent control. In Windows form, you can set this property in two different ways:
1. Design-Time: It is the simplest way to set the Font property of a CheckBox using the following steps:
- Step 1: Create a windows form as shown in the below image
Visual Studio -> File -> New -> Project -> WindowsFormApp
- Step 2: Drag the CheckBox control from the ToolBox and drop it on the windows form. You can place CheckBox anywhere on the windows form according to your need.
- Step 3: After drag and drop you will go to the properties of the CheckBox control to set the font of the text displayed in CheckBox using Font property.
Output:
2. Run-Time: It is a little bit trickier than the above method. In this method, you can set the Font property of a CheckBox programmatically using the following syntax:
public virtual System.Drawing.Font Font { get; set; }
Here, the Font is the type of font applied to the CheckBox content. Following steps are used to set the Font property of the CheckBox:
- Step 1: Create a checkbox using the CheckBox() constructor provided by the CheckBox class.
// Creating checkbox CheckBox Mycheckbox = new CheckBox();
- Step 2: After creating CheckBox, set the Font property of the CheckBox provided by the CheckBox class.
// Set the Font property of the CheckBox Mycheckbox.Font = new Font("Bradley Hand ITC", 12);
- Step 3 : And last add this checkbox control to form using Add() method.
// Add this checkbox to form this.Controls.Add(Mycheckbox);
