applying a font to all textboxes in the application

[ethicalhacker]

I have around 80 textboxes labels etc in my application I want that if I change the font it gets applied to all the textboxes in the application.
And I DONT want to keep on specifying all the 80 textboxes for the font to be applied

I have moved the thread to better suited Windows Forms forum.

Change the font of the controls container and it will propagate to the child controls. For example if these textboxes is in the forms Controls collection you set the Font property of form. It only works if the child controls (the textboxes) have default font, if you have set a specific font in designer so the property values is bolded they will not be affected by the cascading rule. This is also the reason that the form and for instance a Panel container control has Font property even though they don't display any text by themself.

you could also accomplish this by looping through the Controls collection, check the Type and if it is TextBox, then change the font as appropriate.
