View 1 RepliesWhen changing a textbox border style to "none," and the font size to anything higher than the default 8.5, everything is fine unless if the letter goes downward ('g', 'y', 'j', etc). This is most noticeable with the g. I've linked a picture here, and I have no solution to have each character come out clearly. If I'm using another textbox border, it works fine. If I use the font size of 8.5, it's fine, but I can't have no border and a larger font. Though the textbox changes size it does not change enough to show the tail of the g. I can't change the size of the textbox because i

If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!
I'd like to set the form size to the size of a textbox. The size of the textbox can differ, as it is set to auto-size. However when I use this code, which should work (as far as I know) the form just goes to 0 height and 0 width:
CODE:
I have a rich text box that have a paragraph in it (the parragraph may change). The user is able to decide what type and/or size of font he whishes to view the text in. My problem is that not more that an average of four words per line should be displayed per line. My idea was to size the rtb so that it automatically wrap the text to and average of 4 words per line. This I would do by determining the average width of a word (number of characters) in the paragraph, multiplying it by the width in pixels or twips of a character and then multiplying by 4 to get the average required length of a line. It does not need to be exact as long as I can get as close as possible to 4 words per line. Sample text:
My Father walks to the market every day to buy fresh bread and milk for the house.
Result expected:
My Father walks to the market every day to buy fresh bread and milk for the house.
Notice some lines may be slightly longer as long as the average is 4 words per line.My problem is that I dont know how to determine the width of a character in order to ultimately determine the width of a sentence.

This is the only way I know how to obtain the info I need for this equation but if generated again with no input from the textboxes I get an error. Is there anyway to bypass this if its generated a second time with no inputs?

I have a multiline text box in which I'd like the Tab char to be 4
chars long rather than the standard 8.
I've seen a few postings suggesting the use of the EM_SETTABSTOPS
message but that's not exactly what I want to do (unless I don't quite
understand and I'm happy for someone to explain).
I don't know in advance how many tabs there will be on a line, I just
want that each time the user hits the tab key, it moves the caret 4
spaces right rather than 8.

How can a TextBox or RichTextBox buffer size be set? I have data that goes to a TextBox continuously, but I want to set a maximum size of buffer for the TextBox. I read in one forum someone suggesting to set the TextBox MaxLength property, but the questioner replied that he had tried this, and when the MaxLength was reached no further data input was possible, and what he wanted was the situation where new data could still come in, but the oldest data was then deleted, i.e a rolling buffer, which is precisely

I need to limit a Textbox and DataGridView to only enter text in the fixed size of the cell/textbox on the screen. So I have limited the cell/textbox so user can not change it size. Both allow multiline and wordwrap. cell/textbox is sized to accept 5 lines of data (wordwrap or enters) This is like an online form.So the text enter will be printed so I can not allow scrolling in the cell/textbox.
How can I stop the scrolling of the text inside the cell/textbox.
Also : if the user Paste into the cell/textbox how to truncate text if larger than display area.
sample settings:
DataGridView1.AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.None
DataGridView1.AllowUserToResizeRows = False
