I have a form on with I have a label inside a panel, with a button I can open a fontdialog and change the font of the label (inside the panel). The font (name and size) I also display in 2 textboxes. This works as far. But I also want to display in a different label (so not the same as the label inside the panel) which fontstyle is selected (at this point when I select bold, the number 1 is displayed in the label, but I want to the word Bold displayed. Also I found out that when I make the fontsize smaller, the label inside the panel isn't align in the middle of the panel.

aligning text into columns in a textbox.
I need it to look like the following:
XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX
XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX
I've seen several representations of how to do this in VB6, but I would prefer managed code (VB.net). Also, I want to make sure that what appears in the textbox will translate to the printed page the same way.
I have very new to VB. I was just fiddling and ran into this. I cant set the text alignment of a text box twice with the focus events as well as cant set or reset the password char property. The code is given below:
Private Sub tbxLogin_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tbxLogin.LostFocus
If tbxLogin.Text = String.Empty Then
'tbxLogin.ResetText()
tbxLogin.ForeColor = Color.Gray
'tbxLogin.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center
'trying to align the tbx gives it focus

I have question about Label.Text.
When run the code Form1 load together with Form2.On Form2 I have Label1.I need that Label.Text flicker or blinking.
I have a form that I am loading text (strings) from a database into a label.text (so the text from the database shows up into the label) I have done this code in a class that keeps all my database stuff seperate.
Public Function getQuestions() As List(Of String)
Dim question As New List(Of String)
objConnection.Open()
objReader = objcommand.ExecuteReader
[CODE]...
Within the form that the label is in I have done this code
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Label1.Text(db.getQuestions().ToArray)
End Sub
I am basically making a quiz, so that when the form loads, question 1 is on there is 4 possible answers. You then press next button and it goes to the next question.
Is there an effecient way to give one label the ForeColor, BackColor and Text of another one of 3 possible labels? I need to do this frequently for a dozen labels in a windows form.
View 2 RepliesI am using a label to display a song for an mp3 player. I wanted to scroll the text inside the label for anything that is longer than the label width. I figured out the width of the label and if the width of the text inside the label is longer. But I have no idea how to turn this into subtracting parts/pixels of the text currently displayed and how to append the subtracted parts to the end of the new text.

basically i need to change the text of a label where the name of the label comes from the value of a variable.So, for example,
Dim x as String = "lblTarget"
Dim y as String = "Target Text"
In this case the text of "lblTarget" would need to be come "Target Text". Basically, the label that is named the value of variable x would need to take on the text of variable y.
Is there any way to detect if the text in a label is longer than the label itself (assuming autosize is set to false)? I want to trim the text in a label so the last line is a finished sentence (everything after that sentence is removed). I hope you understand what I mean.
I want to go from this:"Hello. This is a test string. Most test stri..."
to"Hello. This is a test string."

I am creating a Pizza Order program as part of my coursework college. why something isn't working.

The code above is what I am using to add the Value of Label 1 (Pizza Total) and Label 2 (Drinks Total), however it seems that in the final total it doesn't appear to add the value of Label 2.

So I am adding StaticTextField controls to a page. This is using ExtJS, but we use VB.NET methods to add ExtJS so we don't actually have to write it.I tried using
.Style = "text-align:right"But that isn't working, in fact it isn't doing anything. Here is the whole code of one of the controls:

Anyone have any idea why these aren't right aligning using CSS? For some reason, if I try to use the same code above (the CSS), to try and right align comboboxes, or number fields, it works, and they are located right underneath these static controls, but it's not working for static controls. They need to be static because we don't want the "box" outline on each of the values, we just want it to be text, nothing else on the screen.
i created a panel with few buttons, all buttons have the same size, most buttons hold images, 2 of them hold string (1 or 2 digit) the string buttons will not align with the rest of them, and i have no idea why ?

View 5 RepliesI converted a VB6 application to VB.Net and in doing so, I seem to have lost the ability to auto-align the controls on the form. I thought I could change that in the "Tools > Options > Windows Forms Designer > General" area but that doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas? I really don't need to use a grid for aligning since the auto-align functionality can be used but I just don't know how to get it back.

View 4 RepliesI have a label that reads a random line from a text file and that string becomes the text for the label.
Now the problem; the label will only work if it is clicked because the event handler is click.What I need is this to work automatically at startup. In other words, it should change the label's text to the random string of the text file on startup of the application.
Here is my code.[code..]

View 1 RepliesI am wondering if there is a simple way to make the text to speech occur after the updating of label.text
If I have the following:label.Text = "words words" voice.Speak(label.Text)
I would like the label on the form to display "words words" before it speaks. I'm a beginner with vb, and the only thing I could come up with was to use a timer. Just wondering if there's a simpler/more sophisticated solution.
I have this problem but I already simplify the code as below:Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Label1.Text = "hello"
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
'MessageBox.Show("hahahaha")
Label1.Text = "world"
End Sub
What I'm trying to achieve here is, after I click the button, the label1.text should change to hello, and after that to world. But I couldn't achieve that. Instead when I click the button, it just paused for 5 second and displayed world.System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) The code is just a dummy for a loop that I have.
