Using StdFont Object with Property Bag -

I'm using VB6 and want my developers to be able to edit properties of a graphic element I made. I added a Input variable called ObjectFont and set the Font property to the new variable.

Now when they use the element it defaults to MS Sans Serif and can be set to another font after that , but I was wondering how to set the default property for a StdFont Object using the property bag?

Basically All I can do is insert a value for the property bag...

Everything is referenced correctly since i'm using a tool, but here's the syntax of what I need to change:

Set m_ObjectFont = Propbag.ReadProperties("ObjectFont", "WHAT I CAN EDIT")

*Where m_ObjectFont is a StdFont Object

basically what is the syntax? i just need to set the name size and bold flag, I have googled several sources and this would be so much easier if i could actually edit the code and say m_ObjectFont.Name = "Tahoma", but I HAVE to use this propertybag.

for example i've tried:

Set m_ObjectFont = Propbag.ReadProperties("ObjectFont", ".Name='Arial'")
Set m_ObjectFont = Propbag.ReadProperties("ObjectFont", "Arial")
Set m_ObjectFont = Propbag.ReadProperties("ObjectFont", "Name=Arial")

Can this be used in this way? or does the propbag have to read a X.font?
