Hi,

      I am trying to create a control derived from the Ultragrid that would use a specific font by default. Here is the code for my control.

When I drag my custom on a form I can see for a brief moment that the default font I specified is used initialy but the font is then replaced by the default font of the UltraGrid.

Here is the reference on msdn : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/53b8022e.aspx 

 Thanks for the help.

Here is the code :

 using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Data;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid;

namespace Gvg.Uc.GenericCtrl
{
    public partial class GridTest : UltraGrid
    {
        private static System.Drawing.Font _defaultFont =
        new System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma",
        16.25f, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular,
        System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point,
        178,
        false);


        public GridTest()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            //Font = _defaultFont;
        }

        public override Font Font
        {
            // Note that the MyFont property never
            // returns null.
            get
            {
                if (_defaultFont != null) return _defaultFont;
                if (Parent != null) return Parent.Font;
                return DefaultFont;
            }
            set
            {
                _defaultFont = value;
            }
        }

        public bool ShouldSerializeFont()
        {
            return _defaultFont != null;
        }

        public override void ResetFont()
        {
            _defaultFont = null;
        }


    }
}
