How to: Use the FontSizeConverter Class

Example

This example shows how to create an instance of xref:System.Windows.FontSizeConverter and use it to change a font size.

The example defines a custom method called changeSize that converts the contents of a xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBoxItem, as defined in a separate Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) file, to an instance of xref:System.Double, and later into a xref:System.String. This method passes the xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBoxItem to a xref:System.Windows.FontSizeConverter object, which converts the xref:System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl.Content%2A of a xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBoxItem to an instance of xref:System.Double. This value is then passed back as the value of the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.FontSize%2A property of the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock element.

This example also defines a second custom method that is called changeFamily. This method converts the xref:System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl.Content%2A of the xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBoxItem to a xref:System.String, and then passes that value to the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.FontFamily%2A property of the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock element.

This example does not run.
