Identify Best Point To Start Drawing Text Within?
Mar 10, 2011
First, the overall objective is to find the best point within a multipoint filled 'star', at which to start drawing text. That is, depending upon the size of the star and the number of points, there is a larger or smaller area within the points that is filled with colour. So a 5 point star has a relatively small area that is filled, in which to draw text. A 40 point star of the same radius has a much larger area filled. If I can determine the size of this area as a rectangle, then I can measure the string and draw within it using the best fit font and starting position. The code below is an attempt to answer the question but I am stuck trying to find the text area rectangle within the filled portion of the star. Some of the code exists purely to explore the means to determine how to identify this rectangle (and is probably the totally wrong direction).
The second part of the problem is in exploring the options, I tried to draw a vector to different points on the circumference of the star. This is the code highlighted. The lines drawn do not seem to be the correct length nor the correct angle but I cannot see why.[code]...

I'm drawing a rectangle snapped to a grid by getting the start point(Mouse down e.location) and the end point(mouseup(e.location). The coding I'm having trouble with is having the program determine which way to draw the rectangle(where the location should be, and the height and width.) Now, this would be extremely simple if the user started their rectangle from the top left corner and ended it in the bottom right every time. But you need to be able to drag from all angles. So does anyone have some code lying around that I could look at so I could actually get my rectangles drawn right?

I want to make a drawing application which needs a few drawing functions I cant handle myself as im not very mathematicly inclined The first on the list of functions is to create an arc from a start point, end point and radius. The method signature is as followes.
Function CreateArc(byval StartPoint as PointF, EndPoint as PointF, Raduis as single) As PointF()

Is there a "best practices" way to parse a rich-text string (which contains the content of a several page document) so that I can identify the "start of a sentence"?The task at hand is this: basically, after making replacements in the text (substituting "markers" with actual data values), I then need to go back and see if any of the replacement data occurred at the start of a sentence, ensure that the first letter of that replacement is capitalized.
I can certainly find occurrences of sentences within paragraphs (i.e. a period followed by one or more spaces), but it is identifying the sentences at the start of paragraphs that would be the main challenge.In looking at the rich-text string in Notepad, I see that a paragraphs start with "par", but there are many variations, depending on other formatting, etc.

I created a new webbrowser and it's not showing up. I can change the height but when I change the location it says can't convert integer into drawing point. I made sure it's visible and added it in the form.

Ok so im looking at this code and it cant possibly be right but im not sure how to do what i want.I have made a list of n points. I now want to click a button on my form and use the picturebox paint event to draw my lines between the points in the list.From what i can see i have at least two issues with this code. 1. Nowhere in this snippet do i reference the picture boxes paint event 2. I do not think that the loop i have is how to navigate through the list of Points to make my drawings.

I have several picture boxes on a form (frmMain).My question is, how do I paint a point on a particular picture box at the location specified by the coordinates of the current mouse position? The snippet below shows defining some canvases and pens. But I'm not sure how to capture the mouse position when the mouse is over a particular picture box and how to paint the actual point at that location.[code]

Step 1 - I plot 4 random points on an image in the picture box
Step 2 - I capture the co - ordinates for all the points
Step 3 - I draw a line from point 1 to point 2 (name it line 1)
Queries :
1) I need to draw a line parallel to line 1 passing through point 3
2) I need to draw a line parallel to line 1 passing through point 4
3) Extend the line from both the ends so that I can draw a perpendicular line passing through all the 3 lines so that it becomes a rectangle

I'm trying to extract a piece of text from within the string, defining both a starting point and an ending point. For instance, say I want to search for the text found between "That is a " and " car" in the string "That is a red car", so it would return "red".I know you can use .SelectionStart and SelectionLength, but the length of the word can change, so the selection length can vary. What I want is to establish a specific starting point and a specific ending point from which to extract the text from the string.

If I try to draw a circle by using e.g.
Code:
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Red, 50.133, 100.321, 0.1, 0.1)
I will get an error message. I tried something like
Code:
Public ObjectPoint As PointF
Dim cpoint As New PointF()
cpoint.ObjectPoint = New PointF(startX, startY)
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Blue, cpoint.ObjectPoint, 0.4, 0.4)
but it didn't work for the location and the circle size. How to draw a circle(and rectangle) by using floating point numbers?

Kind of stuck with an Excel automation thing. The problem is how to change xaxis start point. The end point can be changed, with tis
CODE:
Now the xrange should be 10-100, and the plotted line is started at 10 but the xaxis is still at 0. Normally from excel it's just to format the xaxis and select for ex 10, but how to do it from VB?

I have a large string in which I need to replace specific strings with other values. For example, within this string I might see the following characters: [[sub id=5]]. I am trying to replace those substrings with values, pulled from a table and based on the id. What would be the simplest way to accomplish this. My first thought was to loop through and examine each character and note their positions when they match the pattern. I would then have to identify the id. That would be fairly complicated, however, and there must be a better way.

Ok. So I have a form, a textbox, and a RichTextBox. In the RTB, there is justsomemiscellaneoustext. In the textbox, it says "Save "Test"". When I press Button1, I want my program to parse the text in the textbox, find "Save", and realize that means to save the text in the RTB to a txt file with the name "Test" (the text next to 'save' in quotes).

Using Excel Automation classes I am seeking to save an Excel file as a delimited text file. The examples given in the MSDN library refer to versions older than Express 2008 with (apparently) different syntax options for FileFormat.Based on the snippet shown, I get a COM exception error (800A03EC). Other variations produce the same error.
Am I improperly applying the Automation features?

I'm making a custom control that needs to look like a Text Box but I can't Inherit Directly from text box since I need to add, Change and Override so many things that it would be more practical to just inherit Control and start new.
But now my question is: Is there an easy way to create the basic functionality of a Text Box like drawing the Text Box and handling input ?

I'm looking to see if a little more control is possible though. cpustring = string and fontstring = font, both defined earlier in the program.I'm not sure how to clear the drawn text before drawing a new text. I tried with g.clear(color.transparent), but that creates an ugly flickering background for the picturebox (the picturebox is already set to transparent background).I'd also like to be able to fit the text in the picturebox area, max width/height as defined by picturebox, not by fontsize. Font can stretch either way as long as it fills in the picturebox.

how to remove text. For example, I am trying to get the username of the logged on user (e.g. Bryn)into a variable. I did this with variable = My.User.Name
However this also brought the domain with it (e.g. aaabbbcccBryn).
Is there anyway of getting rid of the domain? The App will be used on many domains, so removing the first, say, 9 characters won't be any good.
