Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:

• Creates two Font objects.

• Tests whether they are equivalent.

• Displays the result of the test in a message box.

public:
   void Equals_Example( PaintEventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      // Create two FontFamily objects.
      FontFamily^ firstFontFamily = gcnew FontFamily( "Arial" );
      FontFamily^ secondFontFamily = gcnew FontFamily( "Times New Roman" );

      // Check to see if the two font families are equivalent.
      bool equalFonts = firstFontFamily->Equals( secondFontFamily );

      // Display the result of the test in a message box.
      MessageBox::Show( equalFonts.ToString() );
   }

public void Equals_Example(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    // Create two FontFamily objects.
    FontFamily firstFontFamily = new FontFamily("Arial");
    FontFamily secondFontFamily = new FontFamily("Times New Roman");
             
    // Check to see if the two font families are equivalent.
    bool equalFonts = firstFontFamily.Equals(secondFontFamily);
             
    // Display the result of the test in a message box.
    MessageBox.Show(equalFonts.ToString());
}

Public Sub Equals_Example(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create two FontFamily objects.
    Dim firstFontFamily As New FontFamily("Arial")
    Dim secondFontFamily As New FontFamily("Times New Roman")

    ' Check to see if the two font families are equivalent.
    Dim equalFonts As Boolean = _
    firstFontFamily.Equals(secondFontFamily)

    ' Display the result of the test in a message box.
    MessageBox.Show(equalFonts.ToString())
End Sub
