Deployment :: Adding A New Font To A Label Control?
Feb 17, 2010
I've added a new font to the OS (MW6E13B) that replicates the same font used at the bottom of cheques.The question is - how do I import that font into the project and use it with the label and ensure that it is deployed with the app?This one I have searched high and low on!
I DO know that I can set the font of a label to a standard style
vLabel.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 12, FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte))
I need to be able to save the font style and have it reapplied when I reopon my form. I know how to "reapply" it when I open the form again. I just need help getting the original value for saving purposes.
I have problem in Form controls. I inherit label control in a class Mylabel i use this label on my form not standard label control. now i want change the Font all Mylabel in my form then it not change Font when i use standard label control it's work.
When you add a label from the the toolbox, the default font is always Microsoft Sans Serif, Regular, 8. I like to use Ariel as my font of choice. Is there a way to change the default font setting so I don't have to pick the font I want every time? I've looked under Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors and I can't find it there.
i am trying to get the font from a label's text to be read into the text.. i can add the font to the label with this code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim myfontdialog As New FontDialog With myfontdialog
[code]....
but reading it from the label and setting the font to the textbox, is the problem i am facing. i know the code does not read the font as it is displayed in the label's text, so it might be possible to just get the font name in one label, and font size in another, just by locating those two. this i have an idea how to do, just do not know how... if you have a solution on how to locate these two, and add them separately.. getting the font to the label this way, does not show the option of the selection for the font style.. i have tried using my.settings to do so, problem there as well.. basically, i want to be able to save the font selected, and next time the app loads, it loads with those those settings.

I can't change change the font size or font name or color of the text in the DHTML Editing Control. I have 2 listbox controls FontNameList containing all of the installed fonts on my PC and FontSizeList containing some numbers to be used as fontsize and I use the execommand and build my App but the font did not change instead it grew bigger but when I tryed to change it back it stayed the same. The Code for that was:
I've developed a database application in VB.Net 2010 Express and published a ClickOnce deployment package, the only choice in the Express version. The installation is supposed to create a listing on the Start menu but this isn't happening. Also, I'm using a specialized Hebrew font in the application that is not carrying over to the installation. what I'm doing wrong or if the ClickOnce publishing method is not capable of working in this way?
I would like to know if there is a way to set the Label Font Settings of VB 2008 to the Font I always use instead of the one that Visual Basic wants to use. I would to always use Arial Font, Bold set at 10, for my default setting, but cannot find where I can set this.Can this be done or am I out of luck and am stuck with the M<icrosoft Sans Serif 8 point?
Create a font size increment application that displays Size in label and increases the font size of the label in intervals of 5 starting at size 10 and ending at size 50. [code]...
How can I Override a Label ForeColor and Font ? For example , the standard label comes with ForeColor = Color.Black and I want it to start with some rgb color . Same for the Font , i want to change it's default Font to another .
A co-worker is having a problem trying to display the time in a label. He wants the AM/PM to display smaller than the time numerals. Neither of us knows of any way to change the font size within the same label, so we tried using two labels. That works for the different sizes, but we can't seem to get the appearance to 'flow' correctly without overlapping the labels, and then part of the text gets cut off.
We tried setting the padding to 0, but that still leaves a noticeable gap. We tried setting the background of the front label to transparent, but that didn't work for some reason. The left label (time) in right-aligned and the right label (AM/PM) is left-aligned, and that's as close as we can come.
Any way to either change the font size within one label or to overlap two labels without one obscuring part of the other? Or, maybe, a way to create a label so the text actually starts at the very edge of the label? (I'm doubting this last-I suspect the problem is that each character is defined, by the font, as occupying a 'block' of space.)
I would like to know how to create/add a folder when installing the application using the Setup and Deployment in VB.net.
I have tried [TARGETDIR][USERNAME], but the target folder name that gets created seems its adding the Domain nameUsername, and this is where it stops where it only created the folder with the Domain Name.
I had an old program that I upgraded from VB6 to VB 2008. I am creating a program similar to it in VB 2008. There is a piece of code that I tried to enter into the program I am creating now from my old program. It tells the computer that if the label's text is a certain text that is on the clipboard, then the text size will be smaller.
If LabelAbsent.Text = My.Computer.Clipboard.GetText Then Label104.Font = VB6.FontChangeSize(Label10.Font, 8)
When I insert this code into my new program, it doesn't recognize the "VB6" in the code. How can I get the same result in the program I am currently creating?
I have a form with some labels. If the labels equal certain text, then I want the font size of the label to change.For example, if the text reads "apple",I want the font size of the label to be 16.If the text reads "banana", I want the font size of the label to be 8.This has to occur during runtime without any clicking of the label.I have an idea of the code I want to write in order for this to work, but I need to know where to put the code for the labels.I cannot put this under Label_Click or Form_Load.Where can I put this code so that it works for the labels during runtime?
How would I go about changing the font in a multi line label
Private Sub error_page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Me.Label1.Text = "Warning!" & Environment.NewLine & "If you proceed with this
I'm developing a Windows Forms Application in Visual Basic .NET with Visual Studio 2008.
I'm trying to compose fonts (Family name, font size, and the styles) at runtime, based on user preferences, and apply them to labels.
For the sake of both a simplier user interface, and compatibility between more than one machine requiring to use the same font, I'll NOT use the InstalledFontCollection, but a set of buttons that will set few selected fonts, that I know to be present in all machines (fonts like Verdana).
So, I have to make a Public Sub on a Module that will create fonts, but I don't know how to code that. There are also four CheckBoxes that set the styles, Bold, Italic, Underline and Strikeout.
How should I code this? The SomeLabel.Font.Bold property is readonly, and there seems to be a problem when converting a string like "Times New Roman" to a FontFamily type. (It just says it could not do it)
Like on
Dim NewFontFamily As FontFamily = "Times New Roman"
I'd like to know if it's possible to have a Label/TextBlock that has two or more different font-sizes/styles/weights within the same label/block. Something like this: This is an example of a string.
Is it possible to edit a labels' font and size etc at runtime? If so how would I do this? apparently it is read-only? Im basically learning about decision structures at the moment and would like to change a label font based on a case statement?
anybody know how to create a usercontrol that sets the font style of the first word in a label to bold?Normally you can use two labels and make the first one bold, but I need to have a label with word wrap.

I have set my forms font as "Segoe UI, 14.25pt" and have just placed an single label on the form.
Upon placing the label by default it gets the forms font i.e Segoe UI, 14.25pt
i have placed the following code on the labels textchange event
Private Sub Label1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.TextChanged Dim f As New Font(Me.Label1.Font, FontStyle.Italic) Label1.Font = f MessageBox.Show(Label1.Font.Name) End Sub
Now when the form is loaded , i get a message box showing the labels font name as "Microsoft Sans Serif"
The labels font size also changes to 8 but it is italic.
Why is this happening? And why does the textchange event occur on the form load?
I've got this label, which changes to a random word each time a user presses a button.. But sometimes the word is too long to fit on the label, so it does this (Picturte below) How can I check if the text on the label has been cut, so I can automatically change the font to fit?
I want to change the font size of a label during rntime in visual basic 2010 .net I have tried to change the size property of the font but it says its a read only property :
I'm looking for help resizing a label's size and its font size based on its window size.That's to say when a window resizes, the label itself adjusts it font and background box to do the same.I know I'm triggering something on the Resize event of the form, but I don't know what.
I have a form on with I have a label inside a panel, with a button I can open a fontdialog and change the font of the label (inside the panel). The font (name and size) I also display in 2 textboxes. This works as far. But I also want to display in a different label (so not the same as the label inside the panel) which fontstyle is selected (at this point when I select bold, the number 1 is displayed in the label, but I want to the word Bold displayed. Also I found out that when I make the fontsize smaller, the label inside the panel isn't align in the middle of the panel.
