The following code example demonstrates how to set the Font property of a button to a new bold-style font using the FontStyle enumeration. This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. Create a form containing a button named Button1 and paste the following code into it. Associate the Button1_Click method with the button's Click event.

private:
 void Button1_Click( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
 {
 Button1->Font = gcnew System::Drawing::Font( FontFamily::GenericSansSerif,12.0F,FontStyle::Bold );
 }

private void Button1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
 if (Button1.Font.Style != FontStyle.Bold)
 Button1.Font = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif,
 12.0F, FontStyle.Bold);
}

 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
 ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
 If Not Button1.Font.Style = FontStyle.Bold Then
 Button1.Font = New Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, _
 12.0F, FontStyle.Bold)
 End If
End Sub
