如何防止控件从其父GroupBox继承Font

Question

I'm developing Windows Forms application and have a GroupBox with many Labels and TextBoxes. If I change the GroupBox's font then the Label's and TextBox's font are also changes. Is there a way to change the GroupBox's font without change Label's and TextBox's font in it?

Answer 1

You need to set them, otherwise they will be inherited. So just change the font of the labels inside.

Answer 2

You can change the Font of the controls at run-time to the Font of the group box parent:

InitializeComponent();

foreach(Control c in this.groupBox1.Controls)
    c.Font = c.Parent.Parent.Font;

For few group boxes:

foreach(Control p in new[] {groupBox1, groupBox2})
    foreach (Control c in p.Controls)
        c.Font = c.Parent.Parent.Font;     // or just p.Parent.Font;

Answer 3

I often dock a Panel to Fill inside the GroupBox. Then I change the Panel Font to what I want. Then I add all the labels and other controls. They will inherit from the Panel rather than the GroupBox.

Answer 4

In Design mode you can go to View > Other Windows > Document Outline
Now you can notice the controls are under the group box and inherit the group box font.
In the designer, you can move the controls a bit out of the group box and then you can move the control with the arrow keys so that it is above the group box but not in it.
