View 7 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Printing A Rich Text Box?
Jul 12, 2009I have a rich text box with images and the formating all setup right. I am tyring to print them to the default printer. I think I am on the right track but need some direction.
Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
Dim fnt As New Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point)
e.Graphics.DrawString(rtbReceipt.Text, fnt, Brushes.Black, 0, 0)
e.HasMorePages = False
End Sub
This prints only the text in rtbReceipt, but no images and no format.
System Root And Printing Text To A Rich Text Box?
Dec 31, 2011I am working on an applictation to scan windows files to check for missing files, i have a couple questions on how to do this.I would like to use the %systemroot%system32 that way that it doesn't matter what drive letter it is, i'm not sure how to do this because when i tried it, it told me the file i was looking for didn't exist (in this case C:windowssystem32 undll32.exe) which does exist. Is there some way to use the %systemroot%?
Also, i am trying to print the resaults to a rich text box such as if rundll32.exe is missing put in the box "rundll32.exe is missing". How do I allow it to write it in the box, I tried the print command, but it didn't work.
Revisiting Rich Text Box Printing Discussion For Resolution?
Feb 24, 2011can I get some additional assistance with this same approach? I went through this entire excerise as well and ran into the same issue as the gentleman (FthrJack) who started the discussion. That is, the .dll "RichTextBoxPrintCtrl.dll" does not get created and/or cannot be found, therefore, cannot include it as a tool.[URL] I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and am a neophyte VB programmer.

Developing A Program That Populates A Rich Text Box And From A Click Event On A Listbox?
Oct 6, 2009I am developing a program that populates a rich text box and from a click event on a listbox. The data that is being loaded into the rich text box is located in a richtextformat file located on the hard drive. I noticed that when I entered a URL into one of the richtextformat files that it appeared that I was able to click on the text as if it were a link. So I wondered if it was possiable to click on that URL and open a web browser from the loaded richtextformat file? I have read several articles in regards to opening hyperlinks in rich text boxes which can open a web browser with a given URL.

Rich Text Box - Program That Will Read From Various Text Files (preferably RTF Files)
Apr 20, 2009Im designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try
Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
infoDisplay.AppendText(fileText)
infoDisplay.Rtf.Format()
Catch
MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.")
End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20{\object\objemb{\*\objclass Paint.Picture}\objw3000\objh3000{\*\objdata
[CODE]...
Ok so im not sure how i can read from a RTF file and put it in the RTF box with the right format....Ive been searching around for a while.

View 2 RepliesVS 2010 - Rich Text Box - Getting User Text In The Text Changed Event
Jan 20, 2011I'm Making a Simple syntax highlighter and I'm Doing the highlighting in the text Changed event of a RTB and for obvious reasons I can't re highlight the whole document each time someone presses a key so i highlight one line each time the text changes. But this creates a Problem. If someone pastes code into the RichTextBox It only highlights the last Line. So is there a way to get if the user typed the text in with his keyboard or pasted it from the clipboard in the text Changed event?

View 5 RepliesOne Sub Procedure / Change Text Color In Rich Text Box / Without Button Handler?
Oct 8, 2010everyone! 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.

Can I actually do this or will I have to write a dll?
View 1 RepliesVS 2010 Transparent/Background On Rich Text Box Or Text Box?
Mar 17, 2012I've been wanting to create a look like the attached jpeg Ive been looking around for a few hours for a solution to make text boxes transparent or have a background image. I've found a few projects on this form and elsewhere which include transparent text boxes, but every time I try to use it the way I need to--with the text box over a picture box--there are always various rendering errors. Most of the time, the text box is transparent if its just placed on the form (not over any other controls). But when I place them over other controls (like picture boxes), the 'transparent background' always take on the color of the form background.
This is one that I was trying to use. I found a few others around, but they all had the same render errors more or less.[URL]...I figured transparency or background images would have been supported natively. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I missed something in my searches. I didn't really see anything which adds background images in text boxes (rich or otherwise). At this point, I'd just like anything that works, so it doesn't really need to have transparency--just a simple background image would be great.

Search For Text BackColor In A Rich Text Box?
Nov 23, 2009I'm trying to make a program that can do some statistics on text in a rich text box. I'd like to count the number of instances where text appears with a certain back color, for example where text is "highlighted" with yellow.
There seems to be no function to get the backcolor of text at a specific index, you can only get the backcolor of text which is selected, like this:
Dim backColor As Color
backColor = RichTextBox.SelectionBackColor
This means, by applying this nasty trick, I would have to manually select every character in the rich text box before I can find the backcolor:
For i = 0 To RichTextBox.Text.Length
RichTextBox.Select(i, 1)
If RichTextBox.SelectionBackColor = Color.Yellow Then
yellows = yellows + 1
End If
Next
However, this takes a very long time, because the program has to select and deselect every character.
What options are there to speed up the process? Disabling the paint event?
