datagridview - making a cell bold

Question

I am not sure how I can find out weather a cell is bold or not and then change it without effecting anything else such as italics underline etc. All I have at the moment is foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in grid.SelectedCells) { cell.Style.Font = new Font(grid.Font FontStyle.Bold); } grid is my datagridview. I hope this is easy to understand thanks

The following code will toggle the selected cells from Bold to Regular however DatagridView styles are a complex business involving a hierachy of properties and I would recommend reading this article on MSDN to gain a better understanding. foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in dataGridView1.SelectedCells) { if (cell.InheritedStyle.Font.Bold) cell.Style.Font = new Font(cell.InheritedStyle.Font FontStyle.Regular); else cell.Style.Font = new Font(cell.InheritedStyle.Font FontStyle.Bold); } regards Ashley

Thanks for your help this is what I ended up with. FontStyle font; foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in grid.SelectedCells) { font = cell.InheritedStyle.Font.Style; if (cell.InheritedStyle.Font.Bold) font = (font & (~FontStyle.Bold)); else font = (font | FontStyle.Bold); cell.Style.Font = new Font(cell.InheritedStyle.Font font);
