I use the following in VBA to check if Segoe UI is available (it's such a lovely font...)
Public Function FontExists(FontName As String) As Boolean
Dim oFont As New StdFont
Dim bAns As Boolean
[code].....
I would like to have an application with the default font being Segoe UI. I dont think this font was/is available on XP so wondering if my app was installed on a PC (XP) without this font it may not display the app as intended therefore is there another way or is there a way to install this font when my app is installed?

View 3 RepliesHow do I set the default font for controls (VB 2008), e.g., labels, text boxes, etc. I see how to set default fonts for objects in the IDE but not how to set the default for controls I add to forms. I hope I don't have to create custom controls as this would be time-consuming.
View 5 RepliesIt 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]......
In VB6 I would simply retrieve the user font setting from the .ini file, load into variables and then apply to the appropriate control.
text1.fontbold = userfontbold
text1.fontitalic = userfontitalic
text1.fontunderline = userfontunderline
etc.
I'm struggling to understand how to do this vb.net The following code works, but sets all three at one time
Text1.Font = New Font("Courier", 10, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic Or FontStyle.Underline)Since the user can have many different combinations of settings, I would like to be able to add just one of these properties at a time, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.
How to list all font in combobox, and how to change selected font in list accordin font in combobox?
View 3 RepliesIn runtime I'm programmatically changing the forecolor to all label and radiobutton controls placed in the groupbox.
The only thing missing is to set the groupbox text/caption forecolor, but as soon as I do so programatically all controls in the groupbox inherits the font type and color making the text hard to read on the Button controls placed within the groupbox.
All my forms inherits from one base form where we handle background paint and set standard properties. Recently, I think of cheching if the app is running on Vista or Later to use Segoe UI font, and I added this. The problem is than inherited forms changed sizes and their inner controls changed also... even PictureBoxes! The controls and forms seems to be thinner (in width), so square picturebox became vertical rectangules!
[Code]...
I would like to have an application setting wherein the user could set the font size of the controls at run-time.

Ive got a Form application in VB.NET.I have many text boxes on one form (about 20). Is there anyway to check them all at once to see if they are empty instead of writing out a massive line of code to check each one individually such as
