Changing the scale font settings at runtime

Reply Contact

Hi there,

I was wondering if there was a way to change the font-size and family of a ArcScaleComponent?

I tried to do it like this:

--------------

circularGauge.AddScale();

ArcScaleComponent scale1 = circularGauge.Scales[0];

scale1.AppearanceTickmarkText.Font.Size = 5;

-----------------

But this appears to be a read-only property.

Hello Peter!
I'm afraid you can't change the Size property of a Font object directly because Font object is immutable (GDI+ feature).
You must change the whole font:
//..
scale1.AppearanceTickmarkText.Font = new Font(scale1.AppearanceTickmarkText.Font.FontFamily, 5f);
//..

Thanks, Dmitry
