Format Text With Different Fonts?
Feb 27, 2011
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.

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?

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'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.

I'm returning a database query into a List object and using that list object to fill the X and Y axes of my chart as seen below. (_runData is a "List(of DatabaseTableName)" style Object filled with the results of my query.
Primary_Chart.Series(0).Points.DataBindXY(_runData, "DateTime", _runData, "UPPER_PRESSURE")
My Datetime field is returning as a Serial Number (i.e. 40116.76111) so I want to format the X Axis to display the field more readably. Enter my problem code.

Currently, I've used System.IO.StreamWriter to write items to a text file. However, what I have are items separated by a Writeline(). Meaning, the items are displayed in several rows, in a column. But what I want is a single row, with many columns, separated by commas for each item. Example of what I want: 16/8/2010,100,you

I've been asked to create a string slicing programme that will take data from a spreadsheet and output it to a delimited ASCII file. The data in the text file follows the structure as shown below:
<time:00:00:00:date:01/10/00:lat:52.34:long:28.30:wind:20:temp:-12recipitation:0.03:visibility:50>
The text file has about 7-8 rows off data following the same structure but with a few changes. So I want to remove the semi-colons from each row of data and format the text file so it has the correct columns on the first row and then the data below but with the long, lat removed etc. However I can't just remove all the semi colons as time uses them.[code]...

I'm populating a ToolTip with a string of text that has vBCrLf at the end to return a new line.
textfortooltip += dr(0) & dr(1) & vbCrLf
This produces multiple lines in my ToolTip based on a SQL query eg:
Administrator COMPUTER1
sa COMPUTER1
RandomUser COMPUTER2
Is it possible to format the string so the spacing is a bit more presentable like:
Administrator COMPUTER1
sa COMPUTER1
RandomUser COMPUTER2
Through tabs or another method of populating the ToolTip?

I am simply trying to do this for knowledge sake. I created a simple code that writes(append) to text file whatever the user enters in a text box and click a button.
I am just wondering if it is possible to format the data in the text file?
Example: Add a space between the data being entered every time?
Or draw a line between each set of entries?

I'm using VB.net 2003 + Automation for Word 2007
Document.Content.Find.Execute("Subject/ Title:", , , , , , , , , "Subject/ Title: Insert Subject here")
I found the code above that is extremely useful for my project. It replaces the first string with the second. But now I need to bring my code one step further. I would like the text from after the colon to be underlined. I tried using a range but it didn't work. Secondly, that only works if there's text to look for in the first place! I would like to put text in an empty cell. How do I locate the cell programmatically? It's the second table in the document's second row.

I have a program, that allows writers to save there quotes. The quotes are saved in a xml file. Everything works as it should but when I load a saved quote it still comes up in xml format. I need to load a saved quote in a plain text format and I also want to be able to give the output file print functionality. I was thinking of making the output file a html file which opens up in a web browser, this of course already has print functionality, is this at all possible.

I seem to be having a problem with the Format() Function. I am trying to format a string of text from a variable so that it uses commas as thousand separators, but I can't seem to get it working properly. Here's what I'm using:
Dim testVar As String
testVar = "10000"
testVar = Format$(testVar,
When I use this code, it changes the variable's value to The strange thing is, it works fine if I use a number instead of the Variable. It also works fine if I use a "predefined numeric format" instead of my custom one. For example, if I use:
testVar = Format$(testVar, "Standard")it works just fine, but that's not what I want (otherwise I'd just do it this way.) It also works fine when I do this:
testVar = Format$(10000, And, although in the example code I've written here, it seems like I could just do it this way, in my actual program, I can't. I have to set it dynamically with the variable.
So it seems like both portions of my Format() Function are working, but just not together, and I can't seem to figure out why. anyone shed some light on this for me and tell me what I'm doing wrong? From every example I can find on the internet about using this function with a variable, I'm doing it correctly, but mine isn't working.
