What is the standard / best practices way to achieve the effect of text formatting within a label in a standard .NET Windows Forms Application? For example, I want a label I would programmatically change. However, I might want a particular word in the label to be bold.

I went and created a tab containing a good amount of controls, most of which are contained within what I'll just call the top-level group box. Now I decide I'd like the text of the top-level group box to be bold, but nothing else. When I set the top-level group box's font to bold, however, all of the controls contained within it become bolded as well, which is what I don't want. I can set each individual control's bold property to false, but it seems like there should be an easier way to do this.

View 3 RepliesHow to programmatically change foreground color and make bold text in individual cell location on DataGridView control (Visual Basic)?
I use "dgMatrix.Rows(r).Cells(c).Value = x" to assign individual numeric values to individual cells in a DataGridView control. My question; is there a similar way to change foreground color and make bold the text in this cell, by specifying the individual row/column cell location?
For example; for cell (row 3, col 5) in the DataGridView make text in cell say red and bold or blue and bold so as to highlight and distinguish individual cell contents. As needed, I will also need to reset these properties (foreground back to automatic/black and font from bold back to regular); the reset could be done globally to the whole DataGridView as opposed to indiviaually by cell.

View 5 RepliesI'm attempting to make a scrolling text label at the bottom of a form. It is the type of scroll you can see on the weather station when there is a tornado warning out. I was wondering if someone could help me go about doing it?
Basically, I am trying to have a label, which scrolls smoothly. The scroll text will be the contents of a string variable. I was also wondering if it would be possible to have the entire scroll "disappear" as the end of it scrolls onto the left side of the screen, then it pauses for a moment, and starts the scroll again, playing an alert tone each time.

View 2 RepliesI have a list box with information that needs to be displayed in a text box. Each of the lines in the list box has 2 types of information-Name and setup data. When I click on the line I need only the setup data to be displayed in a text box. This data on all lines begins at the 42 column. I can display the information using SelectedIndexChanged but the entire line is displayed. In other words I need to display only the data from the 42 column to the end of the selected line.

View 1 Replies(I think) but I wish to make every single instance of whatever is in TextBox3.text to be bold within RichTextBox1.text.
I have the following code:
Code:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find(TextBox3.Text)
Dim bfont As New Font(RichTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = bfont
Do I need to loop it? If so, how? I've already tried with a standard for loop with an infinite counter, but it doesn't increase (doesn't search) past the first bold instance found.
