How to make ToolStripDropDownButton items font bold?

Question

I'm trying to format ToolStripDropDownButton items

btn1.DropDown.ForeColor = Color.Gray; //this works
btn1.DropDown.Font.Bold = true; //this doesn't work.

Please, help.

Answer 1

The problem is that the properties inside the Font are read-only. The solution is to create a new font, like this:

btn1.DropDown.Font = new Font(btn1.DropDown.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
