Find The Truth Length Of A Text String With Different Fonts
Mar 5, 2011
The length of the previous words is exactly the same but the "truth length" it is not. I want to know if there is any way to find the truth length of a text string with different fonts The reason why I want the "truth length" is I want to make an rss scroll bar and when the first label "hiding all" in the right to send the next rss it in the left.
I need to go line by line through a text file as well as a listbox and remove lines over x amount of characters as well as adding the number of skipped lines to a label. I am trying to use a listbox in this example but it is not working correctly. What I am I doing wrong? First it will only remove an item when it is highlighted (focused) how can I make it so that is not required?[code]...
Is there any function similar to string range in vb.net 2.0? What I am try to achieve here is to extract some text from a string with unknown length. eg. given string = text text text mytext1 text text text text mytext2 text text text text expected string = mytext1 text text text text mytext2 So I have the indexes for "mytext1" and "mytext2". I am looking for a way to get the text that wrapped in between those two strings or indexes.
End WhileI am trying to read from the ": " to the end of the line. I keep getting this error: Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length
I just installed Lucida Grande font on my computer and I am unable to find this font when I add a label or text box control. I can see the font in the control panel and MS Word. What is the right step to see this font?
If using the following in an if statement I get an error: If trg.Name.Substring(4, 6).ToUpper <> ("ABCDEF") Then I get the error: "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length"
I assume this is because the string (trg.name) is too small for the 4, 6 substring. What would be the correct method of working around this problem? VB.net Studio 2008.
i was wondering if any one could help me on how to generate the left side of truth table showing all possible combinations in VB. and if possible how to display in Excel(2003)?
I have an array in my application and I don't know how many values there will be in the array because it gets the data from a webpage. Filling the array with information from the webpage works except for the length, it always returns 999. This is my dim Array() as string Array = GBA(source, "<b>", "</b>") Count = Ubound(Array) How can I find out the length of my array?
I was just adding some neat features to my program, and now I realize that they've caused problems with my formatting features. In my program, you can bold, underline, italicize, and strikethrough the text you select. You can also change the color and font of the text. After adding in the ability to change the font of the selected text, I noticed that there was a problem when you tried highlighting the entire word, with some characters in the word having different fonts, and then formatting (bolding, underlining, etc.) the text. The error I get is[code]...
Notice how the "Ma" is in the Comic Sans MS font and that the "th" is in the Arial font. If I were to highlight this word on my program and try bolding it, the error would pop up.
this is my first post in this forum! I guess my question is very simple. I just started with VB.net yesterday I want to search through a text string, and then count how many times a word appears. How do i do this? Is there some sort of function that i can use together with a loop of a kind?Something like the inStr(), just something i can use with mulitble appearences!
I have to find a string in a huge text file ( ~ 50MB) and then replace it.Since it's quite huge I tend to open the file and then read line by line, and then replace the necessary line(s) (rather than "readall" the file of course).My question is how to replace the whole line?Let's say I found the line that should be replaced . I know I can create a copy file and copy all lines into there ... but I'd prefer to replace the line in the original file rather than creating a copy instance.
when i transfer the bytes sent by the client program to a string the string length is affected.when i put the bytes sent by the client program to a message box. it returns the corrrect text. but when i check the length it will return 8192 or higher. but the actual size is just 5.

I just need to know how to find the length of one side of a triangle and one angle aswell. I will always know the other two sides in length and one angle. I have enclosed a diagram.
I need to know length of C and the angle as shown.
I would like to step through each *.txt file in a given directory, open it, find and replace all, perhaps a thousand, occurances of a given string (e.g. "00/00/00"), then close and save file, and step to next one in the directory to do the same find and replace. I've been looking at filestream classes and regular expressions but don't see a clear way to do this.
Using XP and VB 2008 Express for development of Widows Forms App.I am setting a button's .text to "" and then assigning a bitmap with some text written on it to the button's .image. Everything looks great on the development compter, but is almost unreadable on test computers using Vista and Windows 7. This despite trying a number of different combinations of (standard?) font family and size (including Arial, Verdana, Microsoft Sans Serif). Why?
Details....I have a button on a form (32 pixels x 32 pixels).I set the button.text field to "". I create a bitmap a little smaller than the button, and DrawText on it (I can't simply use the button.text field because I want to place text in different areas of the button and draw special characters.I use the following code to create the bitmap:
m_bmpDrawingSurface = New Bitmap(30, 30, Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb) Dim objGraphics As Graphics objGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(m_bmpDrawingSurface)[code]...
I wonder if somehow fonts are being anti-aliased or otherwise cleaned up by the system on the development computer, but not on the other computers. I also wonder if I should be creating just a simple 30 pixel x 30 pixel bitmaps, or perhaps should be trying somehow to get the buttons 'device context' or something. Or, is there an alternative to DrawString that draws text more intelligently than just setting the nearest pixel either black or transparent, which is what seems to be happening (ie, no anti-aliasing or creation of shades of gray). Maybe another pen? Is there an "anti-aliasing" pen?
I am having trouble with the fonts on a richtextbox control what I need is to do the following; *Selected Text Within 1.Bold* 2.Italic* 3.Underline* 4.Strikeout* 5.Font up 1 such as from 10 button clicked then 12* 6.Font down Vice versa of 5* 7.Printing text in the RTB
I'm writing some code that takes a report from the mainframe and converts it to a spreadsheet. They can't edit the code on the MF to give me a delimited file, so I'm stuck dealing with it as fixed width. It's working okay now, but I need to get it more stable before I release it for testing. My problem is that in any given line of data, say it could have three columns of numbers, each five chars wide at positions 10, 16, and 22. If on this one particular row, there's no data for the last two cols, it won't be padded with spaces; rather, the length of the string will be only 14. So, I can't just blindly have
If I have a string Metal is hot : Metal length is 5 cm ; Metal is red. I want to get the sub string that is talking about length: hence I want to extract "Metal length is 5 cm".
I have thios code that will load a php file (text file) into a sting via streamreader then its supposed to find and replace a portion of the text and write the changes back out to the file via streamwriter. I put my code together and after running it look at the file and it's unchanged. After looking closer it appears the problem is the find & replace operation I am doing on the string. Here is my code:
I'm working on a program (Under Visual Basic .NET 2008) that draws text on a PictureBox using a font that is already installed (registered) in system fonts. I'm wondering how can I perform the same but with a font that is not already installed on system, by adding this font file (*.ttf usually) to my solution explorer and use it in my program, given that this font file must be included in exe file.
