I am trying to bind a RichTextBox to data from an XML file where text within a paragraph may be tagged with formatting tags. As an example the text may look like this:"The size of the area is 5000 m<superscript>2</superscript>".Text may also contain other formatting tags such as <bold> or <italic>:"The quick brown fox <bold>jumps</bold> over the <italic>lazy</italic> dog".
View 5 RepliesI want to show a MessageBox in a VB.NET application that has special markup for its text. More specifically, I want to display an unordered list. I tried doing it by wrapping the text in HTML tags (which Java Swing supports for example, if I'm not mistaken) and working with <ul> and <li>. This did how to do it without creating a completely custom messagebox class?

I've developed a MySQL chat app that I have in my program. It works perfectly, however all of the text is the same color. I use a silver-on-black scheme. I'd like to do 1 of 2 things, whichever one is.. er.. "more possible". The first option would be simple - alternate each row's back color. So that one row would be silver-on-black, the next row would be black-on-silver, and so on alternating. Each row is separated by a "vbCrLf". The second option would be to merely bold or turn to white the info text. Here's the format of the chat messages: [{time} - {user}] {message}. I would want [{time} - {user}] to be bold and white. Are either of those 2 options possible? Well, I know they're possible
View 1 RepliesHow to copy the text in a RichTextBox along with its formatting to a wordpad or webbrowser?
View 1 RepliesI have a RichTextBox. I process all the formatting and everything works fine. There is an exception. When I have selected text that have two states of formatting in it, the SelectionFont member is set to Nothing. I notice that WordPad recognizes this condition
and kindof greys out the affected format.
Let's take this example:
This text is in Bold.
The rest of the comments here and not in bold.
When I select these two lines, the SelectionFont gets set to Nothing. WordPad sets the Bold button grey, but still clickable. If I click the Bold button in this state, the entire selection is set to bold. How do I achieve this same functionality?
i am trying to display a line of smiley faces ☻ and change the colour of each face, i cant use a find method as there are 10 of these smilies so i thought about using a loop and selecting only the last one entered and changing its colour. here is a simplified version of my
VB.Net
For a = 0 to 9
RichTextBox1.Text += "☻" ' add the smiley
[code]....
This when i ran it changes the first nine to the first colour in the array and correctly does the colour of the last smiley? could i for instance format the character first then add it formatted?

View 1 RepliesI have an Emailer in my Application and it has a richtextbox which the user can add fancy colours, font, pics etc... but when I send the email it doesn't send it as HTML. Is there a property in the richtextbox that lets me access the HTML code so that the email is sent as HTML and not just plain text. I need to be sending the emails as it appears in the richtextbox.
I am using the following code
Dim moApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oEmail As Outlook.MailItem
moApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
oEmail = moApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)
[Code] .....
And I get the following email Without HTML. Please look at the Emailer to see that it is formatted. So I need to send the content of the Emailer as HTML via outlook.
I have a RichTextBox with an OnChanged event. The OnChanged event should look at each line in the RichTextBox and if the line is of prime length colour it red, otherwise colour it black. How do I do this? I think it is possible to select from index a to index b and set selection colour, but I think this will lose my cursor position.
View 2 RepliesUsing VB 2008, I have a form which includes a richtextbox which is bound to a database field.

View 1 RepliesI have a rich text box in one of my applications (WPF). Now I want to store the data of the rich text box along with its formatting (e.g. bold, colored etc.) into a database (SQL Server).

View 2 RepliesI have two RichTextBoxes, each of which can have any sort of formatting. I need to be able to take the rich text from box 2, complete with formatting, and add it to the end of box 1, preserving the formatting of both box 1 and the appended rich text.
I've not managed to find anything usefull on this anywhere apart from hints pointing to manually re-building the RTF codes for the result (but no actual VB / C# / C code to perform this or similar).
I have a richtextbox with multiple colored text in it. When I change the font, the color table is removed and everything changes to the default fore color. Anyone know of a why to preserve the color table and formatting when changing the font? I know I could build the RTF manually, but I really want to avoid that if possible.
View 2 RepliesI have a WPF RichTextBox which contain in its FlowDocument both text and images. I need to iterate through the text's words (those which builds the text which the user see on the screen) and change their content and formatting. For instance, change the word "room" to the word "home", applying to the last a red color.
I need to change words whether they are formatted or unformatted.For instance, if a word is in Italic, colored, or just regular black text, it makes no difference for me.Each word will be replaced with one which have about identical length, so I don't want that this operation will effect the general page layout. All images and other objects should remain at their positions.It is preferred that the process of this operation will not be visible to the user. Only its result should be visible (i.e, no visible selections of text).If this operation can be done either directly on the FlowDocumet or with properties/methods of the RichTextBox, the simple one is preferred (but exmaples for both will be ideal).

I have an enum and a usercontrol, both in the same assembly (a plain .NET 4 web site). In the Constants class:public Enum CrudOperations Add Edit Delete. This controls the columns in a GridView on a UserControl via a property on the UserControl
[Code]...
In C#, I've specified the columns to show with markup as Mode="Edit,Delete", but in VB.NET, this does nothing. The only way I can get anything to show is with the codebehind, but if on the containing page I use userGrid.Mode = CrudOperations.Edit And CrudOperations.Delete, I get all the columns (there's also a delete column), but userGrid.Mode = CrudOperations.Edit Or CrudOperations.Delete shows nothing.
I am writing an application that has to read and interpret data stored in some PDF files. The reading part is done but I am only able to get a dump of all the words on a page and not the format of the words. What I mean is that if I have to extract a table, I am getting the numbers in the table but not the markup which defines the table.Further, there is some formatting used which displays a few of these numbers within parentheses (meaning that those numbers are negative) but the parentheses themselves are not part of the text. Hence, I am not able to distinguish between positive and negative numbers present in the PDF table!
How do you get the PDF markup along with the text? Is a PDF similar in structure to an XML with tags used to markup tables etc.? If not, then, is there a resource which describes the salient features of the PDF DOM?I am using VBA and the Acrobat library (AcroExch etc.)

View 1 RepliesYesterday I was working with a RichTextBox and decided to add some formatting to my logging (I've never formatted text in one before!! O_O) ...not quite what I expected! Now, normally I work with plain unformatted text and I have an imposed limit on the number of characters I allow to be displayed in the GUI log. So I did my usual thing: After the length exceeds my cap I remove all the oldest lines from the log and set the most recent log info as the .Text property of the RTB... FAIL! All formatting was lost and things were ugly looking again. Sigh.
