Changing Font Properties To Alter The Spacing Between Characters In A String?
Jan 26, 2010
change the character spacing of a string or textbox output? One possibility is by creating a custom font, but i am unsure if there is a property in one of the overloads that will allow me to change character spacing?!
I am pasting into a RTB from the clipboard and from different sources.At the end, I want to reformat the content of the RTB in a way that all font styles (such as bold, italic etc) remain unchanged, but only the line spacing gets uniform.
I do not find a way to change line spacing without changing the font (and at the same time removing all the bold and italic attributes)
How can I change font color of a string. I set the fore color properties of the label holding the string but seems that only works when the string is displayed in that label. Is there a way of setting the color of a string itself such that it displays any where with that color by default. I am actually sending this string as email but wanted to format it in a way that it will display differently however it doesn't.
I'm making this little exe where you fill in a few textboxes, choose a few items from a picklist, push a button and a new outlook-message appears with, depending on what you've chosen and filled in, different mail recipients, subject and body.I was wondering how I could alter the font from the body of the e-mail. I've been searching the internet for a while now and I think it's really specific.I was thinking of putting the text in a string (or something like that), alter the font of the string and then put the string as body of the e-mail, but even that is confusing.[code]
I'm searching for a way to change the font size of selected text in a RichTextBox (rtf) having different font families (e.g. Arial and MS SansSerif) and font styles (underline, bold...) using the FontDialog, but without changing the families and styles. The following code resets all the font attributes, which is not what I want:
I'm trying to use Linq to loop through all fonts in the %windir%Fonts folder and find the one that has a property title of "Arial" (or any Font Family name supplied), but I can't seem to access the font properties (things like "Title", "Font style", "Designed for", etc.).
The following is only giving me the basic file info: Dim fontDir = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir") & "Fonts" Dim fontFiles = From file In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(fontDir)
I have a textbox and the text inside is "2 32 52 14 65". May I know how can I remove all the last spaing until it reach the last string which make it look like "2 32 52 14 65". The number of last spacing might change so i can't use the below code where the number of last spacing is known. TextBox5.Text = TextBox5.Text.Substring(0, TextBox5.Text.Length - 3)

I need to create bitmaps of characters depending on a specified font. When they specify a font, they are specifying:
[Code]....
Knowing this, is it possible to determine the size that a character will be exactly if I know the character and all the information above? I have to draw them to bitmaps that are the same size as the character and no bigger.

I'm trying to figure out how to change the font in a RichTextBox without having to select the text I want to change first. I know I can select text and change it like this:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find("working") Dim tfont As New Font("Arial", 16, FontStyle.Regular) RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = tfont
What I want to do is set a font and then any text added to the richtextbox will use that font. Then I want to set another font and all text after that point will use that font and so on. I'm adding text to the RichTextBox with code, but I'd eventually like to add a RichTexBox to an app where the user enters the text and can change fonts like a word processor.What I'm try to accomplish would go something like this:
' Set the font for the header here rtbPrint.Text = rtbPrint.Text & mHeader & vbCrLf 'Set the font for the body here rtbPrint.Text = rtbPrint.Text & mBody & vbCrLf
