Re: VB: Bug with fonts in GroupBox

This is not a bug. Font is inherited from the owner if
::ownerFont is set to 1, ( which is so by default ), and widget
has no font explicitly set. Once you set a font on a widget,
the ::ownerFont is automatically set to 0, so if you plan not to
inherit the font from the owner, either set ::ownerFont to 0 or
define the font explicitly. BTW, ::ownerFont is not shown in the
list of properties, because I thought that it would be rarely used,
but this can be changed by deleting line 254 in Prima/VB/CoreClasses.pm

 lanas> The CheckBox's text inside the GroupBox will not be bold. Same
