Property Value

Type	Description
Font

A System.Drawing.Font object that specifies the font used to display the captions of associated links.

Remarks

The OwnFont property is synchronized with the Font attribute of the BarItem.ItemAppearance property.

When you assign a font to the Appearance.Font property, the Appearance.Options.UseFont option is automatically enabled. So, the assigned font is immediately applied to the item’s links. You can turn off the Appearance.Options.UseFont option to temporarily disable the item’s font.

If no font is assigned to the Appearance.Font property or the item’s font is disabled, the default font is used (see the BarManagerAppearances.ItemsFont topic, to learn more).

Example

The following example highlights the hovered bar item with bold font.

Create two fonts with different font styles - Bold and Regular.
Handle the BarManager.HighlightedLinkChanged event. Use e.Link and e.PrevLink parameters to switch fonts.

C#
VB.NET

csharp

using DevExpress.XtraBars; 

namespace Highlight-Hovered-BarItem {
  public partial class Form1 : DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm {
    Font boldFont;
    Font regularFont;
    public Form1() {
      InitializeComponent();
      boldFont = new Font(barManager1.GetController().AppearancesBar.ItemsFont, FontStyle.Bold);
      regularFont = new Font(barManager1.GetController().AppearancesBar.ItemsFont, FontStyle.Regular);
      barManager1.HighlightedLinkChanged += BarManager1_HighlightedLinkChanged;
   }

    private void BarManager1_HighlightedLinkChanged(object sender, HighlightedLinkChangedEventArgs e) {
      if (e.PrevLink != null && e.PrevLink.Bar == barBrowser)
        e.PrevLink.Item.ItemAppearance.SetFont(regularFont);
      if (e.Link != null && e.Link.Bar == barBrowser)
        e.Link.Item.ItemAppearance.SetFont(boldFont);
    }
  }
