VB.NET Font Dialog Box

The Font Dialog Box allows the user to select the font family, style, and size for the text in an
application. However, a user can also select the font color and apply the current setting to the
selected text of the control by clicking the Apply button.

Let's create a Font Dialog box in the VB.NET Windows form using the following steps.

Step 1. We need to drag the Font Dialog box from the toolbox and drop it to the Windows
form, as shown below.

clicking on the Font Dialog box.
