Borland C++ Builder question

Hi,
I just wanted to know how to change the font style of a control in C++ Builder on the fly. For example, suppose that the following occurs:

TPanel* Panel;
Panel = new TPanel(Form1);

//What do I write here?

Form1->InsertControl(Panel);




I know that, for instance, if I wanted to change the font name to Times New Roman, you would just use the following:

Panel->Font->Name = "Times New Roman";

But there is no analogue for changing the font style; for instance, both of the following throw errors:

Panel->Font->Style = fsBold;
Panel->Font->Style->fsBold = true;

I've tried a couple other things, but nothing actually works. Any ideas?

Try:

Panel->Font->Style = TFontStyles() << fsBold;

TFontStyles is a 'Set' - a class. Essentially what you are doing is creating a new empty one, setting bold to be true and assigning the whole thing to Panel->Font->Style.

That worked perfectly, thanks. It seems like a pretty bad implementation of that feature on the part of Borland, though, mainly because it's a bit of a departure frome the rest of the framework and they don't seem to document that syntax anywhere. Oh well, I'm glad you knew how to do it.
