Definig DataGridView Column Headers Font Style At Design Time
Jul 11, 2010
I am developing a project using VB2010. In the attached example I created a Form.
On tha form I put a GroupBox Containing a DataGridView.
I am trying to set, at Design time, the ColumnHeadersDefaultCellstyle Font of the grid, defining the Font, the size and the style (Bold). After saving the project or running it, The Font properties of the grid headers are changed to the Font properties of the containing
GroupBox.
Why is that so? How can I set, at Design Time, a different font for the Grid Column headers and the GroupBox?
To demostrate the problm - Try to modify the Font of the grid headers, in the attached example,
to "Bold" "Size 12", Run the application and see the result.
Apparently, an unbound datagridview control cannot be filled at design time, so I have to create rows + fill cells through code. Currently, I use the following type of code to refer to cells:
I have a System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox that I wish to use to display some instructions to my application users.Is it possible to set some of the text I enter at designtime to be bold?Or do I have no option but to do it at runtime?
I am populating a datagridview with data from a table and some unbound columns This is a large table and I want the form to fill the screen and the datagridview to fill the top half of the form. To do this, I have put a panel on the top and a panel at the bottom.I have anchored the dgv to the top left and docked it to the toplumnHeaderHeightSize is AutoSizehe issue is that the ColumnHeaders are not visible unless I click on the restore down button on the top right part of the screen
DataGridView inserting an extra row every time I populate with data. The row appears even if I only fill the column headers. This is causing problems when I try to get values of each cell. Is there a way to avoid this perhaps in properties?
I am using this code i found from links on this site to export data grid information to excel. it works great! I am trying to figure out how to first write the column headers to excel and then the data in the columns.
Private Sub exportExcel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles exportExcel.Click Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook

I'm new to VB 2008 and was wondering how to apply 2 toned back color to my datagridview column headers or listviews. Where the color is lighter at the top of the column header and then becomes darker towards the bottom of the column header. It seems most apps use them these days.

how will I set the font style and font size of my textbox in a programmatic way? Also, if possible, a code that displays the different font style on a combo box.
Am using VB.net 2005, and I've created columns for the datagridview at design time. But when I run the code the fill method of the DataAdapter, the columns I created are not filled with data, but automatically generated columns appear. How can the columns I created at design time be filled with data?
I have created a custom column type for a datagridview. I have created a class for the datagridviewcolumn and a class for the datagridviewcell. Within the datagridcell class I am using the following code for the font.Dim fnt As Font = parent.InheritedStyle.Font How do I change this so that I have control over the font color for that cell? I am fine with the font just not the color.
I set the cell style progromatically on a condition.. but when that condition is no longer met I want to go back to the grids.cell original (default) style property
if x=y then row.Cells(column.Name.ToString).Style.ApplyStyle(mystyle) else
I am trying to do a small application using WPF. I have a button and label controls in my form and I want to chage the font style of those. It is not like the normal windows forms to change the font. How can I change the font at design time.
I am making a quick word processor, with the basics (alignment, cut, copy, paste, font size, font style etc.)I have four buttons for each of the font styles; Bold, Italic, Underline, and Strikeout.I have entered the following code, but my problem is, only one of the styles is used at a time, so if I use bold, then press italic, bold will be removed and italic will take its place. I want all four of the styles to be able to be used at once. [code]
I'm having trouble adjusting the font style in a RichTextBox and I've seen a few different approaches that talk about single attributes (like toggling bold on and off)... but I'm trying to make it so that my font class can adjust any attribute (bold, italic, underline).
I realize that Font.Style is a set of Boolean flags (a bitfield?)... but I'm not sure how to handle the attributes all at once.
Here is the troublesome code:
Public Sub ModifyFontStyle(Optional ByVal Plain As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Bold As Object = Nothing, _ Optional ByVal Italics As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Underlined As Object = Nothing)
[Code]....
What is happening to the font? The text should be underlined and in italics not strikethrough...
Is this a logic error or a simple misunderstanding on my part?
How do i change the font style using code ? I want to display text in a textbox (Like google has in there search box) in italic style but i want normal text when the user types in the textbox.[code]...
this code does the change, but I noticed a little unwanted effect.if you have some text mark up for esample 24pt, selected. and run this code. you will lose the mark up.
Private Sub Styles_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnBold.Click, BtnItalic.Click, BtnUnderline.Click, BtnStrikeOut.Click
Static styleValue As Integer = 0 Const bold As Integer = 1, Italic As Integer = 2, UnderLine As Integer = 4, StrikeOut As Integer = 8 'Since more than 1 button is attached to this event, the if statement will sort out what button was pressed to fire this event If TypeOf (sender) Is Button Then
Private Sub FONTToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FONTToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim TheFont As System.Drawing.Font Dispose(FontDialog1.ShowDialog)
[code]....
this code isn't working,... when we edit the font style of the text it wouldn't run and displays RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = TheFont
I wanted to create a combo box loaded with installed regular fonts and painted with its own font's style. I was able to load the font's name but not the painting of the font's style. [code].........
It 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]......
