How to get the value item to font....

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
On my PropertyGrid I have added a item of type font , with the following code:

PropertyGridItemFont ItemFont = (PropertyGridItemFont)Category.AddChildItem(PropertyItemType .PropertyItemFont "FontItem", this.Font.ToHfont().ToInt32());

ItemFont.Color = 0xFF0000;
But at time to retrieve the value with the event ValueChanged, It will generate an exception. The code that I am using to get the value is as follow:
Font result= (Font)e.item.Value;

Can you tell me the correct way to get the value using C#?

	e.item.Value is ActiveX STDFont object - you can't change it's type to managed Font. Here code you can try: if (e.item.Type == PropertyItemType.PropertyItemFont) { PropertyGridItemFont FontItem = e.item as PropertyGridItemFont; Font fnt = new Font(FontItem.FontFaceName, FontItem.FontSize); chkCustomColors.Font = fnt; }
