It is recommended to place them before initialization of all controls, in the Main method, as illustrated in the following code.
static void Main() {
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.RichEditControlCompatibility.DefaultFontSize = 8;
DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.RichEditControlCompatibility.DefaultFontName = "Tahoma";
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
<STAThread> _
Shared Sub Main()
Application.EnableVisualStyles()
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(False)
DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.RichEditControlCompatibility.DefaultFontSize = 8
DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.RichEditControlCompatibility.DefaultFontName = "Tahoma"
Application.Run(New Form1())
End Sub
