I am allowing the users to be able to make their own font choices for a listview. What would you consider the best approach for this. Should I save it to the DataBase or to a file in the application folder, and what properties should be saved to make sure that the font is redisplayed properly when the application is restarted?
This Is my code
Dim myresult As New DialogResult
With Me.FontDialog1
myresult = .ShowDialog()
If myresult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Dim Conv As New System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter()
[Code] .....
but Nothing happend To the TextBox "txtH1"
I used FontDialog to chose the font format. when I run the project I chose the font as TimesNewRoman 12, bold. after I run the project again it show me the defualt font in fontdailog. is it possible to save the font that I chosed (TimesNewRoman 12, bold) after I closed the project as a default font.
I am trying to save the last used font, font color, and background color. Then when starting myapp up again, read the data and use the last used settings.[code....
I use the font dialog to ask the user to select a font.
I need to save the font to a text file, so I don't need to ask the font each time the program runs.
The problem is that I see more font styles available than the font styles I get (they are limited to the fontStyle enum, which contains just 4 styles).
for example, this fontdialog shows 8 font styles (including semicomprimida):

But the .Font.Style property of the fontDialog instance only returns values in the System.Drawing.FontStyle enum, and I cannot save the user selected font style, nor instanciating a new Font, with that style.
I am trying to save the last used font, font color, and background color. Then when starting myapp up again, read the data and use the last used settings. Here is what I have so far: User pick new font &/or color
Code: If FontDialog1.ShowDialog() <> Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel Then MainText.Font = FontDialog1.Font MainText.ForeColor = FontDialog1.Color
I have a question how can I save in My.Settings only the font name and not the size.I have a form where I can change the font for a label on another form. This works perfect.I can even save it in my.settings.
The thing is though, that on that other form I have 2 labels, thet should have the same font name, but the size should be different. (label1 has font size = 40 (can be changed) and label2 should have a fixed font size (should not be changed)).I tried to use label2.font.size = "14", but font.size is readonly.
I created a richtextbox on a form, a button to invoke the font dialog and another one for the color dialog.
Now user can type in any text and change the font size and color. It looks very nice customized on the screen. I saved it as and txt file.
I open the file to read. It is no more as colorful as when I type in. I 'd like to save the file with those customizetion so when the read on the other end will able to see what is important in the message.
I'm looking for a .Net PDF Viewer tool that will accept the barcode font as well as allow the user to save, email, and print the PDF. I tried the tool by SkySof, but it doesn't handle barcodes. We're having trouble using the COM PDF control because of other stuff that needs to be installed on our servers. Our customer would prefer that the tool be under $1000. We're using Visual Studio 2008 and this is a windows application being served up by Citrix.

i can't convert string to font.[code]when i set font in textbox success but i want to display in richtextbox. error list : value of type 'system.drawing.font' cannot be converted to string.
How can I change font color of a string. I set the fore color properties of the label holding the string but seems that only works when the string is displayed in that label. Is there a way of setting the color of a string itself such that it displays any where with that color by default. I am actually sending this string as email but wanted to format it in a way that it will display differently however it doesn't.
Via the FontDialog I have retrieved a font. After saving the font (in an XML document) and retrieving it again, I have a string in the following "format";
I want to have an input from the user to define the font of a rich text box... the only problem is the only way I know how is to use a string... When I use a string it give the error of:
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in PWT Notepadd.exe
Additional information: Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Drawing.Font'."
I'm saving the font of a label to a text file, and when I open the text file with my program, I want the label to have the same font that is listed within the text file. Now, the only problem I am having is that when I try to write the code for opening the text file, I can't set the font property of the label to a string. Label1.Font=[Font: Name=Microsoft Sans Serif, Size=9.75, Units=3, GdiCharSet=0, GdiVerticalFont= False]Here is what the code to open the text file and set the font of the label looks like:[code]The problem for the code happens at line 6. The error is: "Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Font'"ing each part of the font in the text file(i.e. Writing Font.Name and Font.Size properties in separate lines and then setting the label's font properties to each line accordingly), but I still get hit with the same error.

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.

[code]...
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?
Is it possible to apply two font effects to a New Font?
Like this:
Dim fnt As Font = New Font(Me.Font.FontFamily, 10, FontStyle.Bold, FontStyle.Underline).Obviously, this is too many arguments, but what is the correct way to apply both the Bold and Underline font effects?
