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;

}
