Adjusting Font Style For A RichTextBox?
Dec 23, 2011
I'm having trouble adjusting the font style in a RichTextBox and I've seen a few different approaches that talk about single attributes (like toggling bold on and off)... but I'm trying to make it so that my font class can adjust any attribute (bold, italic, underline).
I realize that Font.Style is a set of Boolean flags (a bitfield?)... but I'm not sure how to handle the attributes all at once.
Here is the troublesome code:
Public Sub ModifyFontStyle(Optional ByVal Plain As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Bold As Object = Nothing, _
Optional ByVal Italics As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Underlined As Object = Nothing)
[Code]....
What is happening to the font? The text should be underlined and in italics not strikethrough...
Is this a logic error or a simple misunderstanding on my part?

It seems there is no easy solution for adjusting a specific format of a used font e.g. for Text. As I understood in order to change any part of the used format we need to use New Font(...) form of implementation which looks a bit odd to me.
TextBox1.Font.Bold = True
which needs to be rewritten as:
TextBox1.Font = New Font(TextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
which is no reason that I can see why it should be hard like that.Anyway, here is my solution for adjusting the font style using four CheckBox controls (i.e. BBold, BUnderline, BItalic and BStrikeout).Preview is a TextBox control.
Private Sub SetFontStyle(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BBold.CheckedChanged, _
BUnderline.CheckedChanged, _
BItalic.CheckedChanged, [code]......

this code does the change, but I noticed a little unwanted effect.if you have some text mark up for esample 24pt, selected. and run this code. you will lose the mark up.
Private Sub Styles_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnBold.Click, BtnItalic.Click, BtnUnderline.Click, BtnStrikeOut.Click
Static styleValue As Integer = 0 Const bold As Integer = 1, Italic As Integer = 2, UnderLine As Integer = 4, StrikeOut As Integer = 8 'Since more than 1 button is attached to this event, the if statement will sort out what button was pressed to fire this event If TypeOf (sender) Is Button Then
[Code]...

I've got a richtextbox control on a form and a menustripitem that allows me to change the font style. What I want to be able to do is to allow the user to type text into the richtextbox control; then if they change the font style using the menu only for newly entered text to change font, and any previously typed text to stay in the previously selected font. The problem I'm getting is that all of the entered text's font style is changed.

I am making a quick word processor, with the basics (alignment, cut, copy, paste, font size, font style etc.)I have four buttons for each of the font styles; Bold, Italic, Underline, and Strikeout.I have entered the following code, but my problem is, only one of the styles is used at a time, so if I use bold, then press italic, bold will be removed and italic will take its place. I want all four of the styles to be able to be used at once. [code]

I am developing a project using VB2010. In the attached example I created a Form.
On tha form I put a GroupBox Containing a DataGridView.
I am trying to set, at Design time, the ColumnHeadersDefaultCellstyle Font of the grid, defining the Font, the size and the style (Bold). After saving the project or running it, The Font properties of the grid headers are changed to the Font properties of the containing
GroupBox.
Why is that so? How can I set, at Design Time, a different font for the Grid Column headers and the GroupBox?
To demostrate the problm - Try to modify the Font of the grid headers, in the attached example,
to "Bold" "Size 12", Run the application and see the result.

I have the [B] [I] [U] buttons and they work to a point but here is the problem I'm having.In MS Word,I can Hilight text and select Bold and it bolds the text, I can then select Italic and while leaving it bold, it Italicizes it.I can then click the bold button again and it will remove the bold but leave the selected text Italicized. I can't figure out how to get this action to work.I know I can OR the styles to apply multiple styles to the text but I don't know how to remove a style while maintaining any others applied.Here's a section of code that I'm messing with.[code]....btw, I am using for the comments so that the code is easier to read.I have tried (in this specific segment) newFontStyle = currentFont.Style And Not FontStyle.Bold
