 <MenuItem Command="ApplicationCommands.Cut"/>
 <MenuItem Command="ApplicationCommands.Paste"/>
 </MenuItem>
 <MenuItem Header="_Font">
 <MenuItem Header="_Bold" IsCheckable="True"
 Checked="Bold_Checked"
 Unchecked="Bold_Unchecked"/>
 <MenuItem Header="_Italic" IsCheckable="True"
 Checked="Italic_Checked"
 Unchecked="Italic_Unchecked"/>
 <Separator/>
 <MenuItem Header="I_ncrease Font Size"
 Click="IncreaseFont_Click"/>
 <MenuItem Header="_Decrease Font Size"
 Click="DecreaseFont_Click"/>
 </MenuItem>
</Menu>
<TextBox Name="textBox1" TextWrapping="Wrap"
 Margin="2">
 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
</TextBox>

private void Bold_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
 textBox1.FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold;
}

private void Bold_Unchecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
 textBox1.FontWeight = FontWeights.Normal;
}

private void Italic_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
 textBox1.FontStyle = FontStyles.Italic;
}

private void Italic_Unchecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
 textBox1.FontStyle = FontStyles.Normal;
}

private void IncreaseFont_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
 if (textBox1.FontSize < 18)
 {
 textBox1.FontSize += 2;
 }
}

private void DecreaseFont_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
 if (textBox1.FontSize > 10)
 {
 textBox1.FontSize -= 2;
 }
}

Private Sub Bold_Checked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
 textBox1.FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold
End Sub

Private Sub Bold_Unchecked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
 textBox1.FontWeight = FontWeights.Normal
End Sub

End Sub

Private Sub IncreaseFont_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
 If textBox1.FontSize < 18 Then
 textBox1.FontSize += 2
 End If
End Sub

Private Sub DecreaseFont_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
 If textBox1.FontSize > 10 Then
 textBox1.FontSize -= 2
 End If
End Sub
