Change font in ListBox

  Is this also possible to due in ASP.NET, not windows forms I would really love to figure out how to change the font and color of individual lines in the listboxes.

  Hi Tan .NetCF,

  to change the font style at runtime, you should reset the font of the control like the following:

  (form1 will have a combobox1 filled with items, and the code below will change the font to Courier with Bold style)

  Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    ComboBox1.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Courier New", 9.0!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold)

  End Sub

  good luck

  I am using ListBox control, not Combox. I could not find the property to change each individual line.

  Try looking at the MSDN docs for Listbox. The font property can be found here:

  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listbox.font.aspx

  You can use this with the same code as above except with a listbox.

  Also if you press F1 while you are in Visual Studio a world of knowledge will appear

  Hi Tan,

  what you're looking for is an owner-drawn ListBox.

  That could be done with the DrawMode property:

  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listbox.drawmode.aspx

  Unfortunately this property is not supported in the Compact Framework, so a solution

  could be writing your own Custom Control implementing a list of items, each with its own Font.
