Hi, I have been trawling the net for hours. All I want to do is toggle text in a cell in an unbound DataGridView between Regular and StrikeOut. I have been trying with this line of code (amongst others):-

"If DGV(2, 1).Style.Font.Style = FontStyle.Strikeout Then"

The answer I get is 'object reference not set to an instance of an object'.

Please help.
Don.

So, what is DGV(2,1 ) supposed to refer to?

HI Don,

Set Font of row in a datagridview like this.

DGV(2, 1).Style.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Strikeout, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte))

Here DGV(2, 1).Style.Font.Style is nothing when you show this value in quick watch.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't have a problem setting the font to StrikeOut. My problem is determining whether the font is Regular or StrikeOut - I need to toggle between Regular and StrikeOut so I need to know which exists in the cell. How do I determine that?
