View 2 RepliesI have a rich text box ('RichTextBox1') and a button ('BoldButton'), and have it set up so that whenever the user highlights some text in the box and clicks the bold button, that text becomes bold. That much I've figured out...
Public Class Form1
Private Sub BoldButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BoldButton.Click
Dim Bold As New Font(RichTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = Bold
End Sub
End Class
But I'd also like to add the ability that if the user highlights text that is already bolded, then clicks the bold button, that text will go back to 'regular' font. In other words, I'd like the 'bold' button to be able to toggle between bold and regular font.
I want to change the font on a button to bold after certain conditions exist during runtime.
I tried
Col1Button.Font.Bold =
True
The autocomplete allows me to type it, but it doesn't work. There is an underline under the IDE code. Font is apparently a "Read-Only"property. Is there a way to make it a changable property?
I understand that within a rich field text box you can search for a string and then format that string, but I am looking to change the formating of a certain position in a string regardless of what character is at that position.Can this be done in VB 2008?

View 4 RepliesI'm using My.Settings to store some text information which will be displayed to the user under certain conditions. What I'd like to know is whether part of the text (not all of it) can be formatted in bold?
The reason I'm storing in My.Settings is because it can be customized but not to the extent where I need to store it in a database. And while I'm at it, is it possible to format parts of MessageBox text and labels in bold, or is this an all or not at all situation i.e. changing the font property?
I have a program that checks for the color under the mouse pointer. I also stores what I think is the RGB (could someone confirm this?) value for that color in a Rich text box and next to that in a text box the coordinates of the mouse at that time.The idea is to be able to measure the times between the bounces of a tennis ball in a video. The background is black and the tennis ball is another color.I wasnt sure how to say "if color is not similar to black... Do this"So my plan was to set the richtextbox font color to itself - as it is an RGB value. But thats difficult, it wants to change ALL the text in the RichTextBox, not just the current Value.Basically Ideally I would like it if it recorded the times between significant changes in color of the pixel and displayed them.
View 1 RepliesI have created an instance of a Rich Text Box:
Dim RichText As New RichTextBox()
I was able to write to it using:
RichText.AppendText("Text")
I was able to save the document to a file:
RichText.SaveFile("C:TempRTDoc1.rtf")
What I cannot find is how to set the font, and font size. IntelliSense doesn't help. Everything is "read only", meaning retrieve a current value.
How do I search for the words with the same font size (e.g. 15) in a rich text box and put the words into a list box? For example, consider a dictionary whose word entries are of size 15 and the rests are of 12. So how do I put all word entries into a list box and then the description (of size 12) in another list box. I am using visual basic 2010. I've tried regex but couldn't find a way of specifying the font size.Consider the bold letters of size 15 and the rests of 12.[code](physics) hypothetical truly fundamental particle in mesons and baryons; there are supposed to be six flavors of quarks (and their antiquarks), which come in pairs; each has an electric charge of +2/3 or -1/3
View 2 RepliesI went and created a tab containing a good amount of controls, most of which are contained within what I'll just call the top-level group box. Now I decide I'd like the text of the top-level group box to be bold, but nothing else. When I set the top-level group box's font to bold, however, all of the controls contained within it become bolded as well, which is what I don't want. I can set each individual control's bold property to false, but it seems like there should be an easier way to do this.
View 2 RepliesHow do I do text formatting in a Text Box? I want to bold a selection on a textbox without affecting the rest of the text. HOw do I do this with Textbox and RichText formattting?
View 1 Replieseveryone! I've been at this for a while, and I'm not sure how this issue can be resolved:I'm working on a project in VB.Net, and I have a form with a rich text box. I have a groupbox with 4 radio buttons inside that are intended to change the font color of the text. Coincidentally, I have to repeat this same functionality for a 2nd set of radio buttons that would change the text font family.
At any rate what I've only been able to do is the following to successfully change the font color of whatever text I highlight in the rich text box:
Private Sub rbtnBlack_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnBlack.CheckedChanged
rtbxTextEditor.SelectionColor = Color.Black
End Sub
Private Sub rbtnRed_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnRed.CheckedChanged
[Code]...
Is there a way that I could write a sub (I'm assuming I would use a sub, since I don't think I need to return anything, thus eliminating the use of a function) that would handle the action of changing the selected text color in the rich text box without having to use a separate sub for each radio button? Mind you, per my teacher's specs, she doesn't use a button handler for any of this.

View 1 RepliesI'm a noob to the .net world and I was wondering how I would go about creating a rich text box by triggering a click event button. I am trying to shrink the data currently in my form. One way of doing this would be to take away the two rich text boxes I have drag/dropped into the form and just adding a button. When the button is clicked, a rich text box will pop up.

I've been googling, testing, etc for a couple hours and I'm right where I started off. the vb.net tab control sucks... Does anyone have an tips or code to make it so when I select a tab the font color changes OR it just makes the tab heading text bold?I've messed around with the draw commands and while that does work, it draws the borders/backgrounds so they are very old / outdated looking.This is basically for a simple tab text editor I'm working on when a textbox in the control changes I can update the associated tab with either a red font or just bold it to indicate the textbox on that tab is modified. I've definitely be open for alternative tab controls as long as they are free and come with a vb.net example :)

Need to set the height of treenode. I'm using vb.net and VS 2008. I have already checked the Bounds property, but it is not set correctly so I cannot set the ItemHeight property of the node.

Whenever i try and load a project i was working on with VB 2010 i get an error saying
"Font 'Arial Rounded MT Bold' does not support style 'Regular'"
how to get rid of this? I recreated my form for the project and copied the code over but it did this again. I didnt change any fonts on the form at all so i dont understand whats going on.
Within our application, some of the object's text are effected by users with "Large font" turned on under Control Panel>>Graphic Properties. I can't determine what is the trigger to this behavior. I have many forms including TableLayoutPanels, ComponentOne Sizers, some objects with DOCK=Fill, and AUTOSIZE=TRUE. I wrote a simple Hello World form, and it is not impacted by the "large font" setting.
