i have a RTB in my application for notes. Ive put it in a panel with a toolstrip and buttons for bold, italic, underline etc.This works fine,

RTB.text (or .rtf) = "Some text" & "some bold text" & TextBoxA.text & BoldTextBoxB.text.
How to I make "some bold text" bold and the text in "BoldTextBoxB" bold when it goes into my RTB?
I need bold, italic, and underline, but would prefer a general solution.
I have created a page where I can toggle the richtextbox's fontstyle between bold/italic/underline. This works flawlessly. However, when I assign it more than one font style I do not know how to tell which ones it has through code. For instance if I bold something I can simply check richtextbox.SelectionFont.Bold but what about if it is bold and italic?

When the user clicks on bold and italic it should be bold and italic. when they are not clicked it should not be. I am having trouble finding a stable solution.

View 3 RepliesI have some WORD files, which are formatted using bold, italic and colors etc. I want to copy entire content of word file into SQL Server table using Visual Basic.NET.I have a RichTextBox on my form and used datatype nvarchar(max) to store Unicode Hindi data. Everything is working fine... data insert and retrieve is OK, but formatting is GONE.
Below is the code to insert.
cmd.CommandText = "Update tbl_Camps SET CampName = '" & StrConv(Trim(txtCampName.Text), VbStrConv.ProperCase) & "', CampVenue = '" & StrConv(Trim(txtCampVenue.Text), VbStrConv.ProperCase) & "', CityID = '" & cboCity.SelectedValue & "', FromDate = '" & Format(dtpFromDate.Value.Date, "dd-MMM-yyyy") & "', ToDate = '" & Format(dtpToDate.Value.Date, "dd-MMM-yyyy") & "', LiveDVpkt = '" & txtDVpkt.Text & "', <strong>CampNotes = N'" & rtbCampNotes.Text & "'</strong> Where CampID = '" & frmMain.lblCampID.Text & "'"
I have an APP that reads data from MS Access tables. It all works fine except that the numbers in Access table are formatted like 800001 so when the user puts "2" in the access table, it changes to 800002 and so on. I want to read the data AS THEY APPEAR in VB.Net but it reads them without the special format. So I get 1 or 2 etc.
I know how to format the data within VB but I don't want to hard code that as the format in MS Access might change. Is there anyway I can read the data format in MS Access ?
I have set up a form that will act as my parent (this hasnt been set up as an MDI).On this form I have a Panel that I will be loading forms into. I have a form that contains a DGV. On the load of the parent form, I then load this "child" form into the Panel. In the onLoad event of the "child" I go off to the database and populate my DGV. Then I run through the rows in the DGV and add in a logo image in the first column and change some cell colors based on values in those cells.
This all works great, however, when the child form finishes loading all the changes are lost. eg The logo images go back to the red cross and the cell coloring is gone.If I call Me.Refresh() in the child window as the last line in its Form_load event I can see the logo and cell colors update to what I want, but as soon as it has updated, its like it immediately refreshes again and all the changes are gone.
I've been developing a text editing application and my problem is that the RichTextBox control will "lose" all special formatting (like font, color etc.) when enabling WordWrap.

I've developed a MySQL chat app that I have in my program. It works perfectly, however all of the text is the same color. I use a silver-on-black scheme. I'd like to do 1 of 2 things, whichever one is.. er.. "more possible". The first option would be simple - alternate each row's back color. So that one row would be silver-on-black, the next row would be black-on-silver, and so on alternating. Each row is separated by a "vbCrLf". The second option would be to merely bold or turn to white the info text. Here's the format of the chat messages: [{time} - {user}] {message}. I would want [{time} - {user}] to be bold and white. Are either of those 2 options possible? Well, I know they're possible

View 1 RepliesI am trying to bind a RichTextBox to data from an XML file where text within a paragraph may be tagged with formatting tags. As an example the text may look like this:"The size of the area is 5000 m<superscript>2</superscript>".Text may also contain other formatting tags such as <bold> or <italic>:"The quick brown fox <bold>jumps</bold> over the <italic>lazy</italic> dog".
View 5 RepliesI 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?

For a = 0 to 9
RichTextBox1.Text += "☻" ' add the smiley

This when i ran it changes the first nine to the first colour in the array and correctly does the colour of the last smiley? could i for instance format the character first then add it formatted?

View 1 RepliesI have an Emailer in my Application and it has a richtextbox which the user can add fancy colours, font, pics etc... but when I send the email it doesn't send it as HTML. Is there a property in the richtextbox that lets me access the HTML code so that the email is sent as HTML and not just plain text. I need to be sending the emails as it appears in the richtextbox.
I am using the following code
Dim moApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oEmail As Outlook.MailItem
moApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
oEmail = moApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)
[Code] .....
And I get the following email Without HTML. Please look at the Emailer to see that it is formatted. So I need to send the content of the Emailer as HTML via outlook.
I have a RichTextBox with an OnChanged event. The OnChanged event should look at each line in the RichTextBox and if the line is of prime length colour it red, otherwise colour it black. How do I do this? I think it is possible to select from index a to index b and set selection colour, but I think this will lose my cursor position.
