How do I combine fontstyle.bold with fontstyle.Italic? I tried simply adding them together but no go.
Dim MyFont as New Font ("courier new",12,FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)
Evidently font styles are not constants.
I want to highlight certain words in a doc in a richtextbox and make it bold.
View 11 RepliesSome time back I posted some questions concerning printing a RTB. I got some great answers and have a RichTeckBoxPrintCtrl based on KB811401 and lots of from this forum. It works great. I can enter text and changed fonts in any selected portions and it prints just like it looks. But my form also has some plain text boxes for the user to fill in some required fields. The RTB is for additional comments. I want to print the plain text boxes in a formatted method followed by the data in the RTB using my RTBPrintCtrl.

How do I apply 2 font styles to the text selected in a richtextbox? Used this method to change fontstyle:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold)
But with this method I can only apply 1 font-style (for example bold OR italic OR underlined, etc.) right? But I want to apply for example 2 front-styles, or just add the font style ( so I can add several front-styles to the selected text, for example the text is bold, and then ALSO make it underlined (with this method I can only change the font-style, only one font-style)), how do I do this?
Just do so:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)
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)

I've been googling, testing, etc for a couple hours and I'm right where I started off. the vb.net tab control sucks... Does anyone have an tips or code to make it so when I select a tab the font color changes OR it just makes the tab heading text bold?I've messed around with the draw commands and while that does work, it draws the borders/backgrounds so they are very old / outdated looking.This is basically for a simple tab text editor I'm working on when a textbox in the control changes I can update the associated tab with either a red font or just bold it to indicate the textbox on that tab is modified. I've definitely be open for alternative tab controls as long as they are free and come with a vb.net example :)

View 5 RepliesI have a rich text box ('RichTextBox1') and a button ('BoldButton'), and have it set up so that whenever the user highlights some text in the box and clicks the bold button, that text becomes bold. That much I've figured out...
Public Class Form1
Private Sub BoldButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BoldButton.Click
Dim Bold As New Font(RichTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = Bold
End Sub
End Class
But I'd also like to add the ability that if the user highlights text that is already bolded, then clicks the bold button, that text will go back to 'regular' font. In other words, I'd like the 'bold' button to be able to toggle between bold and regular font.
