ListViewItem.Font Property

Definition

Gets or sets the font of the text displayed by the item.

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

Property Value

The Font to apply to the text displayed by the control. The default is the value of the DefaultFont property if the ListViewItem is not associated with a ListView control; otherwise, the font specified in the Font property for the ListView control is used.

Examples

The following code example shows how to adjust the existing font to make it bold.

listViewItem1.Font = new Font(listViewItem1.Font,   
    listViewItem1.Font.Style | FontStyle.Bold);  

Remarks

You can use this method to change the font styles applied to the text of the item. Because a Font is immutable (you cannot adjust any of its properties), you can only assign the Font property a new Font. However, you can base the new font on the existing font.
