I'm using the font dialog and have noticed that when I select/highlight portions of text and then cancel out of the dialog, the selected text is changed to the default settings (i.e., font type, style, size, color, etc).
Is there a way to preserve the original text settings?
everything tests well but when I evoke the function the dialog values default to selections other than what the text was originally/last set to (e.g., color, font, size, etc. in the dialog/menu is not what is shown in my rich text box).how I can set the above values per the text being recalled in the RTB? That is, in the above scenario if I hit the cancel button I lose the original text formatting.

I have a scenario to resolve using the font dialog code below.

View 3 Repliesi want to change to font size in richtextbox using a combo box its easy to change the font size if we have one font in our selection text using this code.
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(SelectionFont.FontFamily, CInt(ToolStripComboBox3.Text), RichTextBox1.SelectionFont.Style)
But if we have multiple fonts in our selection it dose not work. i have another code to solve this problem. But the only problem with this code it is good for less then 2000 chracters but when the selection text is large it is worthless. code is below.

View 5 RepliesI use a fontdialog box in my application allowing users to change the font details within my application. This works fine but unfortunatly I don't seem to be able to set the values in the dialogbox as they are read only.
Basically if the user has Bold Wingdings set and wishes to change it to something else then when they open up the fontdialog box I would like to be able to set the font to wingdings and bold so the user can see what they previously selected. Word seems to do this so why cant I?

I have triyed setting the Font in the properties window, but that changes the font all the controls on the Dialog, not the Dialog Heading.
I'm having a bit of trouble with my project here... and Google isn't helping very much. To put it briefly, I'm currently making a sticky note program (one fairly similar to Sticky Notes, for those of you familiar with Windows Vista or 7). It's relatively simple, as the "note" itself is basically a glorified Rich Text Box.
My problem is this: I obviously want to allow some for some customization with the font, however I don't want to use a standard full-on Dialog Box. So I designed a small form with 2 Combo Boxes--one for font and the other for size--and 2 buttons, "OK" and "Cancel". What I'm attempting to do is program this form (named dlgFont) to more or less be recognized as a Font Dialog Box. I've got some of it figured out I think, but I can't seem to put the pieces together in a way that actually works.In the code for my main form, I have this within the Class... stuff:
Friend WithEvents dlgFont As System.Windows.Forms.FontDialog
As for the Command Button that pulls up the dialog box itself, well, it's actually a Context Menu Strip Item... I'm not really sure what to put. So far I've only tried this:
dlgFont.ShowDialog
And for the Apply event, I've got the generic stuff:
Private Sub dlgFont_Apply(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dlgFont.Apply
If dlgFont.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Me.Font = dlgFont.Font
End If
End Sub
That's all I have for the main form. This is what dlgFont looks like: 'A limited-ability font dialog box.

I am attempting to do something which isn't particularly obvious (to me at least). Digging around on the web I located the following sample (notice the font sample appears in the list on the left?).[URL] Now I know how to use the font dialog from VB.Net, but don't know the appropriate property to set to get the example to show in the listbox/listview? I set the same properties as the author but it shows a plain text font. I am basically attempting to save my users from having to click through every font to see what they each look like.

View 1 RepliesI've got the following set up:On a webapp, I've got an updatepanel Inside this update panel, I've got two regular panels and a set of two radio buttons, radio1 and radio2.On Panel1, I've got 4 drop down lists (lets call it DDL group1), being loaded by the CascadingDropDown Extender, meaning the first box triggers the second, and so on. All 4 DDLs have autopostback enabled, meaning that every time I select a value, a SelectedIndexChanged method is called which loads data from a database, based on the information selected on the last DDL.
On Panel2, I've got the same set up, except that I've only got 2 DDLs (let's call it DLL group 2), also linked as cascading dropdowns. These also have SelectedIndexChanged methods.

I've created an application that runs queries against a SQL server (via Data Adaptors) in VB.NET 08 and returns the results to a DataGridView. It works great and returns my data, but when I switch to a different query that returns different columns, the DataGridView keeps the old columns from the previous query and adds the new columns from the new query to the end (far right) of the DataGridView. Is there a way to counter this? I don't want those previous unused columns showing up in my results. I tried setting the DataGridView DataSource and DataMember to Nothing and that didn't fix it.
View 3 RepliesI have a DataGridView in which their is one column defined as a CheckBox. This checkbox is used to delete the record if the user chooses to do so. When they check the box, the user is prompted with a confirmation deletion message. My issue is that if the user chooses not to delete the record, I want to "Uncheck" the box and I can't get this to work. I've tried using the below code and it still won't work.
dgvBuild.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(6).Value = False
dgvBuild.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(6).Value = CheckState.Unchecked

View 4 RepliesLooking to make a simple VB form, that has three text boxs on it. One for a users username, and two for passwords. What I want to do is provide teachers with this form, they type in a students username, and if that username is found in AD it enables the two password boxs. Then the teacher can type a new password for that user in the boxes (the second one obviously being a validation) and then when they click save, it updates the AD account with the new password. Any ideas on how to do this? Does anyone have any code?
