Handle Different Display Font Sizes?
Nov 4, 2011
I have a basic VB.net app that displays a picture box with some text. nothing special. looks fine on my computer. If I display it on someone else's computer with a larger font size (125%?) my picturebox and text looks off and stupid.
How do people account for this? Should I simply get the new font size and multiple all positions, lengths and widths of object by 1.25?
I'd obviously like my dialog to scale properly and look as expected in any display no matter what font size is selected.

I'd like to know if it's possible to have a Label/TextBlock that has two or more different font-sizes/styles/weights within the same label/block.
Something like this:
This is an example of a string.

I'm creating a basic text editor and I wish to include the option to change the font, font colour and background colour of the text box. Is there a way I can ask VB to display a font/font colour selection box or do I have to populate a combo box and code it all myself?

I know that I can calculate the display area for a given font using
TextRenderer.MeasureText("Text", New Font(Arial, 12.0F)
I want to calculate the size of a font I should be using in order to fit a given display area. Is there a function that allows me to do that?

It seems the only options available to do multi-color on a string is either a bunch of label controls cleverly grouped together or to use a RichTextBox and play with the font properties as text is added to the control.
What I am looking for instead is some kind of control that can render some style of control codes out as color. Consider bash codes:
NORMAL='e[0m'
GREEN='e[0;32m'
BLUE='e[0;34m'
echo -e "This text is ${GREEN}green${NORMAL} and this text is ${BLUE}blue${NORMAL}"
In the above, the words 'green' and 'blue' will be colorized with their respective colors. I was wondering if there was a control with some kind of feature like this, or will I have to code something myself?
Note, I only have the Express copy of VB 2010, and I would very much like to avoid third-party controls.

I am trying to put colored text into a list box. I use the following

e.DrawBackground()
Dim myBrush As Brush = Brushes.Blue
Select Case e.Index

This works fine and dandy as long as I use 8 pt font, but when I change the font to 20 I get the following: How can I get the list box to display colored text in a large font?

I am trying to make a calculator program. I would like the display(text box) to have a white background, with black font. So I set the "enabled" property of the textbox to "false"(because I want it to display, not receive input) and then choose the background colour to be white. In the form designer, the text colour is black, which is what I want.But when I start debugging, the text becomes the colour of the form. How can I make the font black?

The Code for that was:
Design.ExecCommand(5044, False, Font.Name)

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.

Private Sub FontDialog1_Apply(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FontDialog1.Apply

I'm creating a form in ASP.Net to replicate a paper form (I have no say in the design, I'm tasked with merely recreating it digitally). This form has many questions along the lines of "Answer yes or no. If yes, specify how much". I'm currently handling it by listing the question, and then having two radiobuttons in a group, one saying "yes" and one "no". To make this a little prettier, I've been using Ajax updatepanels that will only display a textbox to hold this yes value if the user selects Yes.Now I've been able to do this successfully, but each question is its own radiobutton group and has its own panel to update visibility, which means that the way I'm currently doing it there is a lot of redundant code like
[code]...
And so on for every question that has a yes/no option like that. I have no doubt there is a better way to do this. I was wondering if there is a way I could pass the panel associated with the radiobutton group so I could use a single method in the code that would fire for all radiobutton postbacks, something like (not real code)
[code]...
Or is there a better way to handle questions like this? I'm open to a different approach if it would cut down on the amount of redundant code that I'm typing now. I'm using VB, but I know C# so if someone is fluent in that with an answer I'd have no problem interpreting it.

I have written a VB .NET 2010 application which displays a "you have new mail" window/form with an OK button that closes the form.
Some users have received new PCs with dual-monitors and the OK button is no longer visible on the form - it's at the bottom but off-form.I guess that this is related to a different screen resolution and not the dual-monitor setup itself.how to make my forms auto-resize? I though this was automatic in VS 2010.

I have a slightly unusual application that is optimally designed by doing the following. We have an application that references a number of graphic sets for unique artwork utilization. The application is in HD and the graphic sets are a bit large about 20 megs per set. We have found that the optimal design for this particular application is to create a unique .Resources file per set, compile this .Resources file into a .Dll file using Assembly Linker (AL.exe) and reference the .Dll via the application and load the graphics upon demand or selection actually of this unique set within the application.
Question is this as I have been unable to find any data on this aspect.
Is there a limitation on the number and size of .Dlls that a VB .Net application can reference?
Specifically, we will likely have 20-25 unique graphic sets reesulting in 20-25 unique .Dll files of about 20 megs per .Dll. On our deployment boxes for the applications, we have 2 GIGs of RAM so no issue there.
Just curious if anyone knows if I am breathing down the neck of an inherit limitation within VB .Net 2010 by creating the above monster.

How do i center an image at all window sizes? My Window is borderless and maximized so its size obviously differentiates between resolutions. I'm having trouble centering an image directly in the middle of the screen and making it stay there regardless of the size of the window. Docking isn't working neither is anchoring and hoping there is an easier way around this?

I have less than good eyesight now as my age increases :) I have managed to make most text areas/dialogs etc suitable for my eyesight, but can't find any way to edit/alter the Toolbar Icons - I expected to fin (at least) a seting for 'large' icons, or a way to increase/decrease the sizes - but so far I haven't been successful.
I find the icons/toolbars to be poorly designed in that they are on a grey background which just serves to minimise their effect.
