FontWeight Struct

Definition

Namespace:: System.Windows

Assembly:: PresentationCore.dll

Refers to the density of a typeface, in terms of the lightness or heaviness of the strokes.

public value class FontWeight : IFormattable

[System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter(typeof(System.Windows.FontWeightConverter))]
[System.Windows.Localizability(System.Windows.LocalizationCategory.None)]
public struct FontWeight : IFormattable

[<System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter(typeof(System.Windows.FontWeightConverter))>]
[<System.Windows.Localizability(System.Windows.LocalizationCategory.None)>]
type FontWeight = struct
    interface IFormattable

Public Structure FontWeight
Implements IFormattable

Inheritance: Object

ValueType
FontWeight

Attributes: TypeConverterAttribute LocalizabilityAttribute

Implements: IFormattable

Examples

In the following code example, the FontWeight is set to "UltraBold".

<TextBlock FontWeight="UltraBold" FontFamily="Gil Sans MT">Hello, world</TextBlock>

Remarks

Weight differences are generally differentiated by an increased stroke or thickness that is associated with a given character in a typeface, as compared to a "normal" character from that same typeface.

Note Not all weights are available for all typefaces. When a weight is not available for a typeface, the closest matching weight is returned.

XAML Attribute Usage

<object fontWeightProperty="fontWeightsValue"/>

XAML Values

fontWeightsValue
A FontWeights property name, such as "Light", "Normal", or "UltraBold".

Methods

Compare(FontWeight, FontWeight)	Compares two instances of FontWeight.
Equals(FontWeight)	Determines whether the current FontWeight object is equal to a specified FontWeight object.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the current FontWeight object is equal to a specified object.
FromOpenTypeWeight(Int32)	Creates a new instance of FontWeight that corresponds to the OpenType `usWeightClass` value.
GetHashCode()	Retrieves the hash code for this object.
ToOpenTypeWeight()	Returns a value that represents the OpenType `usWeightClass` for the FontWeight object.
ToString()	Returns a text string that represents the value of the FontWeight object and is based on the CurrentCulture property information.

Operators

Equality(FontWeight, FontWeight)	Compares two instances of FontWeight for equality.
GreaterThan(FontWeight, FontWeight)	Evaluates two instances of FontWeight to determine whether one instance is greater than the other.
