Property Value

Type	Description
DevExpress.XtraEditors.WindowsFormsFontBehavior	A DevExpress.XtraEditors.WindowsFormsFontBehavior enumeration value that specifies the behavior specifying fonts used by DevExpress and standard .Net controls.

Remarks

Use the FontBehavior property to specify the fonts used by DevExpress and standard .Net controls.

When this property is set to any value except WindowsFormsFontBehavior.Default, a corresponding font is automatically assigned to the WindowsFormsSettings.DefaultFont property. The WindowsFormsFontBehavior enumeration provides the following modes.

Value	Description
Default	DevExpress controls use the WindowsFormsSettings.DefaultFont font.
UseTahoma	DevExpress controls use the Tahoma font of the default system font size (SystemFonts.DefaultFont.Size).
UseWindowsFont	DevExpress controls use the System.Drawing.SystemFonts.MessageBoxFont system font.
UseControlFont	DevExpress controls use the System.Drawing.SystemFonts.DefaultFont system font.
ForceTahoma	Forces standard .Net and DevExpress controls to use the Tahoma font of the default system font size (SystemFonts.DefaultFont.Size).
ForceWindowsFont	Forces standard .Net and DevExpress controls to use the System.Drawing.SystemFonts.MessageBoxFont system font.

Note

You can also specify fonts for controls using the application settings architecture. This allows you to separate application settings from the application code and provide consistency between design and run time. See the WindowsFormsSettings.LoadApplicationSettings method for details.
