Printing in bold and italics at the same time

[J Trahair]

I am using

ev.Graphics.DrawString("String", fntPrintFont, Brushes.Black, 12, numYPos), New StringFormat())

to print stuff to a printer.
I have previously set

fntPrintFont = New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Italic)

to get the string in italics.
How do I get the string to print in Bold AND Italic? I tried

fntPrintFont = New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)

and

fntPrintFont = New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold, FontStyle.Italic)

but VB doesn't like that.
How may I combine two printing attributes?

Thank you.

fntPrintFont = New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic)

Thanks, works a treat. I would never have guessed 'Or'!

FontStyle is a flags enumeration, which members you can do bitwise operations with. 'Or' is the bitwise operation to combine those two flags. They are also called logical operators.

If you look in help for FontStyle enumeration it says this:

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

If you look further in help about 'bitwise' you can find this article: Logical and Bitwise Operators in Visual Basic
