I have an application that contains a RTB where I allow the user (through a button) the ability to bold selected text. the code to bold is this:
Private Sub btnBold_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnBold.Click
rtbComments.SelectionFont = New Font(rtbComments.SelectionFont.FontFamily, rtbComments.Font.Size, rtbComments.SelectionFont.Style Xor FontStyle.Bold)
End Sub
I am trying to find an example of code to help me set the font size of a richtextbox.

What i want to do is set the text in the name variable in Italics when it is displayed, like this.

View 1 RepliesWell i think you guys know when a Richtextbox is Enabled = False then you can not write anything nor Copy the Text inside, well you can change the Text with: Richtextbox1.Text but you cant by writing yourself.
But now my problem is i want the RichTextBox to be enabled but it should not be possible to Copy Text from it.
How to copy the text in a RichTextBox along with its formatting to a wordpad or webbrowser?
View 1 Repliesso I created a new control. When the user changes the font, I don't want the user to change the font past font size 14. If the user changes the font past 14, the font should reset to 14.Here is what I have so far.
Private Sub LoginControl_FontChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.FontChanged
Dim myFont As Font
[code].....
The problem here is that this code makes the font, Arial 12 static, and whenever I change the font size, the font always goes back to Arial 12.
I created a new User Control. I want to set a minimum Font for it. I put the code in the Font_Changed Event. Here it is.
Private Sub LoginControl_FontChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.FontChanged
Dim myFont As Font

It keeps telling me that myFont.Size is ReadOnly. How do I get around that?
I'm trying to change the font in a RichTextBox, but it's not working:
RichTextBox.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"
this apparently read only
With RichTextBox
.SlectionFont = "Times New Roman"
End With
here I need a System.Drawing.Font class and not a string
I need to use a richtextbox, not a normal textbox because of the way it keeps the caret position, from line to line. But I need to keep the text at the same font all the time even if it is pasted. At the moment I have it selecting the entire text and changing the font to the original (Lucida Console) but it look horrible when you paste into it as it flashes blue.
View 2 RepliesWhen setting a point 10 font size in VB6:
[Code]....
The reported size is 10. Can someone explain the difference here? My hunch is that VB6 is using a .75 step because my system is configured at 96 DPI, and .NET is not using said step, or not reporting its usage, but I'm not sure.
I need to set the color of the font every time I add text to the RichTextBox
I'm using. RtbResults.AppendText(DisplayPacket)
To add a new line of text, but each line needs to be a set color.I found this on the net but it doesn't seem to work in my VS11b RtbResults.AppendText(DisplayPacket,forecolor,backcolor,font)
Are these the correct overloads? can I do this another way if this doesn't work?I don't want to have to insert the text then go back and select and change its color.
I'm having trouble adjusting the font style in a RichTextBox and I've seen a few different approaches that talk about single attributes (like toggling bold on and off)... but I'm trying to make it so that my font class can adjust any attribute (bold, italic, underline).
I realize that Font.Style is a set of Boolean flags (a bitfield?)... but I'm not sure how to handle the attributes all at once.
Here is the troublesome code:
Public Sub ModifyFontStyle(Optional ByVal Plain As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Bold As Object = Nothing, _
Optional ByVal Italics As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Underlined As Object = Nothing)

What is happening to the font? The text should be underlined and in italics not strikethrough...
Is this a logic error or a simple misunderstanding on my part?
how change font color for some word in Richtextbox example : when write "The lost" in Rich font color change to blue ...and other word don't change ...other example : same "DIM","AS" and "integer" in VB.NET ,,how i can do it?how to save the word from richtextbox to text file ?
Note : I'm using VB.NET 2008
this code does the change, but I noticed a little unwanted effect.if you have some text mark up for esample 24pt, selected. and run this code. you will lose the mark up.
Private Sub Styles_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnBold.Click, BtnItalic.Click, BtnUnderline.Click, BtnStrikeOut.Click
Static styleValue As Integer = 0 Const bold As Integer = 1, Italic As Integer = 2, UnderLine As Integer = 4, StrikeOut As Integer = 8 'Since more than 1 button is attached to this event, the if statement will sort out what button was pressed to fire this event If TypeOf (sender) Is Button Then

I am using visual studio 2010 and I put a font dialog to change in a rich textbox. I tried this code:
richtextbox1.Font.Name = Fontdialog1.font
and it didnt work I dont know why.
I am building a word pad clone with extra a few extra features. I am trying to get two combo boxes (one with font names, the other with font sizes) to apply their selected attribute to the selected text in a richtextbox. This was my latest attempt, and I think I'm starting to get close, but I still get an error for InvalidCastException - Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

I am trying to add formatted text to a rich text box..For instance, I want to add a heading as bold ("HEADING: ") and some data after it as regular ("REGULAR Data")...then a new line and do it all over again.
first name: blah
last nem: blahh
etc...etc...
I'd like to have a couple functions to perform the action.When I use the below functions to add txt to a single rtf box, I get lines in either all bold or all regular. It doesn't seem to keep the font formatting after it adds text..
[Code]...
I have a RichTextBox. I process all the formatting and everything works fine. There is an exception. When I have selected text that have two states of formatting in it, the SelectionFont member is set to Nothing. I notice that WordPad recognizes this condition
and kindof greys out the affected format.
Let's take this example:
This text is in Bold.
The rest of the comments here and not in bold.
When I select these two lines, the SelectionFont gets set to Nothing. WordPad sets the Bold button grey, but still clickable. If I click the Bold button in this state, the entire selection is set to bold. How do I achieve this same functionality?
I'm trying to figure out how to change the font in a RichTextBox without having to select the text I want to change first. I know I can select text and change it like this:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find("working")
Dim tfont As New Font("Arial", 16, FontStyle.Regular)
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = tfont
What I want to do is set a font and then any text added to the richtextbox will use that font. Then I want to set another font and all text after that point will use that font and so on. I'm adding text to the RichTextBox with code, but I'd eventually like to add a RichTexBox to an app where the user enters the text and can change fonts like a word processor.What I'm try to accomplish would go something like this:
' Set the font for the header here
rtbPrint.Text = rtbPrint.Text & mHeader & vbCrLf
'Set the font for the body here
rtbPrint.Text = rtbPrint.Text & mBody & vbCrLf
I am trying to set the "ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle" property to the "GoudyHvyface BT" font and it will not change from the default. I am using Visual Basic 2008.
I have set the property properly with no success.
I have tried to set the property in code, using the suggestions in the MSDN and it kept throwing errors.
In VB6 I would simply retrieve the user font setting from the .ini file, load into variables and then apply to the appropriate control.
text1.fontbold = userfontbold
text1.fontitalic = userfontitalic
text1.fontunderline = userfontunderline
etc.
I'm struggling to understand how to do this vb.net The following code works, but sets all three at one time
Text1.Font = New Font("Courier", 10, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic Or FontStyle.Underline)Since the user can have many different combinations of settings, I would like to be able to add just one of these properties at a time, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I'm having problems with my labels for some reason when I set the font color to red it shows up grey when I run my project?
