After scouring the inter-webs for info on printing in vb.net, it seems to me that it's pretty difficult.
My question is, is there a simple way to print something that is in a RichTextBox control?
I would like to print the contents of my RichTextbox. I already have a bit of code, but it will print the text only with the SelectionFont. I don't know how to make it print all the fonts, colors and sizes in the RichTextbox.
View 2 RepliesI got two combo boxes, one has numbers from 1-75 and the other one has all system fonts. I have a richtextbox as well. I basically want the user to be able to choose the font and font size from the combo box and then apply to the richtextbox. However I want about two functions. If the user has highlighted selected text then changes should only be applied to the highlighted text, if the user has not highlighted an item but changes fonts or font size, then the changes should be made to the next characters inputed. How can I do this?
View 7 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.

In my desktop application I am writing output to a rich text file *.rtb and loading it into my rich text box control so the user can see the results of an analysis...This analysis which is saved as *rthas 50-200 pages of textUsing the rich text box control works ok but I would like to have a table of contents with hyperlinks or navigation tree that would allow the user to click on a link and go right to the specific page of output.
View 2 RepliesMy application appends incoming report data onto a RichTextbox control. As more text arrives from an external device, the thumb initially fills the trough and as times goes on, the thumb diminishes in size. This is expected behavior.A modal dialog box allows the user to cancel the file download but since it's modal, the user can't scroll down to see what the last text that was appended.Is there a property/event/method that will show the most recent/last text in the RichTextBox control, rather than the initial text as I have it displayed now? The user would be able to see the text drawn real time without having to use the thumb to accomplish

View 5 RepliesI'm making a program that has a "Print" button. I want it to open a PrintDialog, let the user select the printer they want to use, and print the contents in the RichTextBox/TextBox.
I was thinking about this:[code..]
What i am trying to do is setup the print and Print Preview - so i can preview and print the contents of richtextbox on a child form.
i have placed - Setup Dialog (mySetupdlg)
PrintDocument (myPrintDoc)
PrintPreview Dialog (myPrintPreDlg)
Print Dialog (PrintDialog1)
on to the child form and am putting the code for the above controls in the Child.vb - the buttons to use the above controls are on a menuStrip and the toolStrip - which merge witht the MDI parent menuStrip and toolStrip. The code below is what i have done so far

Imports system.io

when i run the the program with the above code - any text thats been altered ie- had it font change or it font colour - just shows up in the print preview as the default style,color size .
i thinki am missing the obvious here but may due to getting fustrated with it not working the way i want it to -

View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 3 RepliesUsing 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?
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.
View 2 RepliesSo, imagine I have a RichTextBox control and a few buttons to allow the user to change the font size, set/unset bold, italic etc, and perhaps change the colour. Not much more than that. Can I then - in code - loop through the contents of the RichTextBox and determine which words are in bold or red or whatever, and where paragraphs start and end?
View 9 RepliesI'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 am working on an applictation to scan windows files to check for missing files, i have a couple questions on how to do this.I would like to use the %systemroot%system32 that way that it doesn't matter what drive letter it is, i'm not sure how to do this because when i tried it, it told me the file i was looking for didn't exist (in this case C:windowssystem32 undll32.exe) which does exist. Is there some way to use the %systemroot%?
Also, i am trying to print the resaults to a rich text box such as if rundll32.exe is missing put in the box "rundll32.exe is missing". How do I allow it to write it in the box, I tried the print command, but it didn't work.
