Basically I'm writing a little piece of photo-editing software and I would like the user to be able to write whatever they want as a caption for the photo. VB then writes that text in a blank space created under the picture. Pretty straightforward, I've got it printing the text and it can adjust for height differences (i.e. multiple lines of text, smaller fonts, etc.).
My issues arise in the horizontal direction, I cannot make the Richtextbox large enough to represent the width of the photos (Some pictures have dimensions several thousand pixels wide and most monitors cannot display that many...) so I have used horizontal scroll bars (wordwrap off) to allow the user to scroll across and see all the text. Now what I would like to do is to set a limit to how much text the user can enter on a line (based on pixels to accommodate for various fonts/sizes) and it seems to me that setting the .RightMargin to just a little less than the picture dimension (to allow for padding) should do just that.

How 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?

Okay so I've got something, where when a button(Button1) is pressed, Text Appears in the RichTextBox When you press Button2, I want more text, in the same textbox, to be on a different line. I can get the text on the SAME line, but not a different one.
I am trying to change color of a selectedtext in Rich TextBox.When user check color radio button it should change the color of the selected text.I have 4 radio buttons inside groupbox.Can someone tell me how do i select text and change color.Below is my code but its not working as expected.[code]....
I want to type the characters from right to left (to behave as a right alignment). But I am not supposed to use the Right Alignment property or the RighttoLeft property of a text box.For example, I want to enter the characters of a string from right and each character should shift one space left so that the user can enter another character after that.
I created a small Rectangle Shape that represents a specific color. How can I add it to a line in a RichTextbox?For example, the string would look like this: RectangleShape (represents department) + Department Name + Price etc.
I have an application that allows the user to define text in a rich textbox. I would like to give the user the ability to define text for one or more languages. I don't think this will be a problem using the rich textbox as it allows for unicode characters and DBCS (please let me know if this is incorrect). My question is, I display this text throughout the app in other controls as well, such as a listbox, label, etc. by acquiring the RTF's Text property (plain text). Are there problems with other controls displaying unicode/DBCS characters? I realize that I may have to toggle the font of the control in question depending on the language (I will allow the user to specify a default font per language).
Using the following code to print the contents of my rich textbox
Private Sub PrintText(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal ev As PrintPageEventArgs) tbUpperBody.Text = vbNewLine & vbNewLine & tbUpperBody.Text
[Code]...
Issue is that when the rich textbox contains text that is spread over multiple lines, it prints as one massive line, which obviously disappears off the edge of the page.
I have a rich text box where you can edit java code with a listbox on the side of it that has the line numbers. I want the listbox to scroll with the rich text box so that they line up. How would you get them to scroll as one?
I'm using a Rich Textbox in my vb.net application on update form to take address value. My update query is generated at run time looping through the textboxes on the form and checking which fields have got some value and the corresponding fields are updated in the database. For Each x As Control In Me.Controls
So I have a Vertical Scroll which enables you to change the Foreground color of the highlighted text inside the Rich TextBox. Here is the code of the Vertical scroll named Vscrollbar1:
It does indeed work. Then I have a button that makes the Rich Textbox not Visible. Using Richtextbox1.visible=False Then I have an open button, which makes it Visible again. But what I wanted is that the text inside the Rich Textbox to be color Black; but the color of the from the scroll keeps appearing. Here is my code for the Close Button:
I am trying to open up a text file that contains some text. I have 3 text boxes on my screen. What I need to figure out is how to replace multiple words (1 in each textbox) with text it finds in the txt file.
I can do this by using the single find / replace feature but I'm trying to be able to fill out the 3 textboxes and then click my find / replace button to have my Regex find each predefined word and replace it with what is in the text boxes.
Here is my code to get the find / replace one word at time feature. I've tinkered with this to just add more variables to my Regex but it doesn't seem to work.
I have 3 rich textboxes on my form and I need to extract the data from box 1 and box 2 and put it into box 3 without losing the formatting (as you know richtext boxes can support colour and picture formatting that i currently have in box 1 and 2). I tried the following but it strips all the formatting from box 1 and box 2.
I am using a Rich TextBox in VB.NET and passing to a StringBuilder. I need to replace the New Line character from the TextBox with either a space or a comma. Problem is the standard codes for new line don't seem to be picking up this New Line character in this case. Is there a specific character used in Rich TextBoxes as the New Line?
in saving the contents of a rich textbox into a batch file. The code that I written save it fines but when I open the batch file it seems to not recognize it as a batch file. Here is the code below:
Try Dim savefiledialog1 As New SaveFileDialog savefiledialog1.Title = "Save As Batch File"
i am trying to figure out the code for a button for application where i take test from a richtextbox read it and change the color and font i have made the application for it, with 3 buttons. find, find next and replace.
I have looked around for awhile and have not seen anything yet. I was hoping someone came up with something by now that can guide me in the right direction. I have an rtf string pulled from my database. I was trying to find a way to display this rtf string formatted in silverlights richtextbox. From what I have read silverlights richtext stores formatted text as xaml and not true rtf. Has anyone found a work around?
I am adding characters to a RichTextBox one character at a time and setting the format of that character after it is added. The following code is a distillation of the actual code but reliably repeats the problem I am having.[code..]
While that is odd to me and unexpected, where it happens in the code is even stranger. By stepping through the code, prematurely going to the End Sub and then displaying the form, I was able to determine that when i = 3 and the line "Me.RichTextBox1.Text = Me.RichTextBox1.Text & "S" is exceuted, the color of the first two "S" are changed from Blue and Red to all BLUE.
I do not understand.a way to add characters to a RichtextBox and set the formatting of those characters?
This example is just color. I the real project I am setting Size, Color, Bold and Italics. I do not know if the solution to this color problem will affect the other formatting information.[code...]
