Question

How to apply a specified font style selected in a font dialog to a text box in visual basic.
I’m trying to implement a notepad program that provides the ability to choose the desired font (from a list of available fonts), and then I want to apply this font to the text in the TextBox.
I have done this so far

        FontDialog1.ShowDialog()
        TextBox1.Font = FontDialog1.Font

But it didn’t work.

You would have to set all Font-related properties of the TextBox from the System.Drawing.Font that is returned by the FontDialog.Font property:

System.Drawing.Font font = fontDialog.Font;
textBox.FontFamily = new FontFamily(font.Name);
textBox.FontSize = font.Size;
textBox.FontWeight = font.Bold ? FontWeights.Bold : FontWeights.Regular;
textBox.FontStyle = font.Italic ? FontStyles.Italic : FontStyles.Normal;
