I'm attempting to do something that I know should be simple but I keep messing it up somehow. First, I'm attempting to change the font color using the color in the font dialog box, but the color will only work with the next character entered into the rich text box. Second, I'm trying to use a button to switch the font and background colors.

I am trying to figure out how to print a string of text inverted so the background would be black, and the text would be white. Is there any way to do this using drawstring? Been looking around, but am not getting anywhere.
View 3 Replieswhat I am trying to accomplish worked with the code in the last thread I posted a while back. I still am using this code, however, I changed the window size to work better and gave it a nicer background for the title screen of my project. Now what I am working on at the moment is making a settings form that has 2 labels. One for "Default" Layout and one for "Plain" layout. When default is at start, the default label is disabled,and when plain layout is clicked, the button is disabled and default button is enabled.Basically, this is a toggle switch for default or plain where if one is enabled, the option for it is disabled and the other is enabled.My problem is that when I switch from Plain back to default, the background Image will not switch back from the plain background color of "control"Here is my code:

A TextBox has the Following Words; " ABC : 12" , "EGF : 15" and "JUT : 02".I want to have "ABC : 12" to have Red color Font, "EGF : 15" - Blue Font and "JUT : 02" to have Green Font.Is it possible to do this? Changing the "Fore Color" in the "Property" of the TextBox changes the color of all the Texts to one color.
The other problem I am having is (how) to get these sorted according to the Number shown with the ABC, EGF etc,. They should be arranged either in ascending order or descending order.Each one is displayed as a String ("ABC : 12" is a String but "ABC" is a String and "12" is a Double converted to String).

How can I create alternating background colors for listview rows while only using ItemTemplate? I don't want to use AlternateTemplate because I would have to edit both of them everytime I want to change something when all I'm using it for is to create the alternating background colors. So what's a way I could do it using only the ItemTemplate?
View 4 RepliesI want to change the Forecolor and the Font color of the DateTimePicker. (The one Narrow white window with Black font which appears on dragging "D.T.Picker" control onto the "Form").
So far, I couldn't do it.
I found the same question (by someone on 31st Aug 2007) and answers by Figo Fei in the forum. Figo fei said, "It is truly not possible to directly modify the forecolor of the DateTimePicker which is concealed in its implementation. However, there is a workaround to change its forecolor through own-draw mode in a custom control inherited from dateTimePicker.". And he gave the code which looks like - for me - either VC++ or VC#.

I use a fontdialog box in my application allowing users to change the font details within my application. This works fine but unfortunatly I don't seem to be able to set the values in the dialogbox as they are read only.
Basically if the user has Bold Wingdings set and wishes to change it to something else then when they open up the fontdialog box I would like to be able to set the font to wingdings and bold so the user can see what they previously selected. Word seems to do this so why cant I?
