I want to change change the font in an edit control to italics if I
determine that the user should not modify the data.
I have tried various techniques like:
oEdit1:oFont:lItalic := .t.
oEdit1:oFont::nStyle := 1
These tend to change other fonts, but not oEdit1.
I find that TFont():Create works but it seems overkill:
:oFont := NIL
:oFont := TFont():Create( "Arial", 9, 1, 400 )
I have attached a very small sample.
What am I doing wrong?

Mike,
The property lParentFont indicates that the control should use its parent
oFont object. Put this property to .F. before changing any of it.

That does not seem to make a difference. Try it in the TEST that I sent to
you.

Mike,
You should also assign the property oFont ON the tEdit objet. If you do not
assign that propery even if you have change lParentFont to false the control
will still use its parent Font.
