How to set the Font of the ListBox in C#?

In Windows Forms, ListBox control is used to show multiple elements in a list, from which a user can select one or more elements and the elements are generally displayed in multiple columns. In ListBox, you are allowed to set the font of the content present in the ListBox using Font Property of the ListBox which makes your ListBox more attractive. You can set this property in two different ways:

1. Design-Time: It is the easiest way to set the font of the content present in the ListBox as shown in 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 ListBox control from the ToolBox and drop it on the windows form. You are allowed to place a ListBox control anywhere on the windows form according to your need.
  
• Step 3: After drag and drop you will go to the properties of the ListBox control to set the font of the content present in the ListBox.
  

  Output:
  

2. RunTime: It is a little bit trickier than the above method. In this method, you can set the font of the content present in the ListBox control programmatically with the help of given syntax:

public override System.Drawing.Font Font { get; set; }

Here, Font indicates the font applied on the content displayed by the ListBox. The following steps show how to set the font of the content present in the ListBox dynamically:

• Step 1: Create a list box using the ListBox() constructor is provided by the ListBox class.

  // Creating ListBox using ListBox class constructor
  ListBox mylist = new ListBox();
  

• Step 2: After creating ListBox, set the Font property of the ListBox provided by the ListBox class.

  // Setting the font of the ListBox
  mylist.Font = new Font("Bradley Hand ITC", 12);
  

• Step 3: And last add this ListBox control to the form using Add() method.

  // Add this ListBox to the form
  this.Controls.Add(mylist);
  

  Example:

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.ComponentModel;
  using System.Data;
  using System.Drawing;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Threading.Tasks;
  using System.Windows.Forms;
  
  namespace WindowsFormsApp26 {
  
  public partial class Form1 : Form {
  
      public Form1()
      {
          InitializeComponent();
      }
  
      private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          // Creating and setting the
          // properties of ListBox
          ListBox mylist = new ListBox();
          mylist.Location = new Point(287, 109);
          mylist.Size = new Size(120, 95);
          mylist.Font = new Font("Bradley Hand ITC", 12);
          mylist.Items.Add("Geeks");
          mylist.Items.Add("GFG");
          mylist.Items.Add("GeeksForGeeks");
          mylist.Items.Add("gfg");
  
          // Adding ListBox control to the form
          this.Controls.Add(mylist);
      }
  }
  }

  Output:
