I have a requirement to show bigger font for a particular List View, Detail View and Popup's and all the controls inside it. Those might be a AspxGridView or Custom Property or Item Templates. Mine is Web Application not Windows.
I have tried with Different options with no luck.

I have some style sheet options but not finding the exact details where to specify those items for these particular controls.
Hello,
There are two ways of changing the font size in ASP.NET - by changing font settings of individual controls or by changing default styles in CSS. In the second case, these changes will be applied to all views, so this solution will be unlikely appropriate for you. Just in case, review the How can i change default font in web application? ticket.
Regarding the first solution, here are help topics describing how to access and customize certain View controls:
Access Grid Control Properties
Access Editor Settings
How to: Customize an ASP.NET Template
See examples of how to change font settings in the following tickets:
How to change a property editor's font size and color in ASP.NET

Change Font Family and Size for All DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web.Editors.ASPx.ASPxStringPropertyEditor Controls
Feel free to contact us if you need further assistance.
You can change the font size in these controls using the WebControl.Font property. Here is an example:
C#public class ChangePropertyEditorFontController : ObjectViewController<DetailView, Contact> {
protected override void OnActivated() {
base.OnActivated();
foreach (WebPropertyEditor propertyEditor in View.GetItems<WebPropertyEditor>()) {
propertyEditor.ControlCreated += propertyEditor_ControlCreated;
}
}
void propertyEditor_ControlCreated(object sender, EventArgs e) {
WebPropertyEditor propertyEditor = (WebPropertyEditor)sender;
WebControl control;
if (propertyEditor.ViewEditMode == ViewEditMode.View) {
control = propertyEditor.InplaceViewModeEditor;
} else if (propertyEditor is ASPxLookupPropertyEditor) {
control = (WebControl)((ASPxLookupPropertyEditor)propertyEditor).DropDownEdit.DropDown ?? ((ASPxLookupPropertyEditor)propertyEditor).FindEdit;
} else {
control = propertyEditor.Editor;
}
if (control != null) {
control.Font.Size = FontUnit.Large;
}
}
protected override void OnDeactivated() {
base.OnDeactivated();
foreach (WebPropertyEditor propertyEditor in View.GetItems<WebPropertyEditor>()) {
propertyEditor.ControlCreated -= propertyEditor_ControlCreated;
}
}
}
Thanks Anatol for your support. That Helps a lot.
Is there some way that to increase the Font of a ListView, which is appearing in different places. One place it has to show the normal font as it is through out the application. Another place it has to show with a different font Size?
Yes, this is possible. You can access this ListView from a controller of its parent DetailView, as described here: How to access a nested ListView from the parent DetailView's controller and parent DetailView from the nested ListView's controller. In this case, only the ListView displayed in this DetailView will be customized.
Alternatively, clone the required view model in the Model Editor, use the cloned model for the required collection property and create a ViewController that changes only list views with this model.
