I'm confused on this because this works fine in VS 2008 on winXP sp2/sp3 but in VS 2008 on Vista sp1/sp2 I'm getting an Invalid Parameter exception on this line:
e.Graphics.DrawString(aColor.Name, Me.Font, br, e.Bounds.Height + 5I, ((e.Bounds.Height - Me.Font.Height) 2I) + e.Bounds.Top)
Here' the whole sub:

I'm using graphic.DrawString to well... draw a string.I specify the Font Family, Font Size, Font Style, Graphics Unit.Everything works well for 50 computers but for just one, the font is "bolder".The characters are the same height but for some reason the "pixel" are double the width.Can this be fixed with code?Can this be fixed using a windows setting?

View 4 RepliesI want to draw a string like WWW with 3 different colors. If i use e.Graphics.DrawString("WWW", RichTextBox1.Font, Brushes.Green, 150, 150) it will print in a color but i want to print in 3 different colors.
View 4 RepliesI have noticed that when I use drawstring to only print numbers, it just prints nothing. However if I put a letter in the string, it prints. So, "12345" will not work, however
"a12345" will work.
Example:
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
g.DrawString("12345", myFont, getBrush(Color), X, Y)
Is there a transformation function that can be applied to the Graphics.DrawString to output text on an angle?
View 2 RepliesI am using drawstring with the DrawMode set to OwnerDrawFixed on a tab control. The Tabs have a alignment set to left, but the text is displayed in a horizontal orientation. I would like to change the orientation to vertical. I am expecting this to be simple, but can not seem to find the correct input parameters for drawstring.

I am using the e.graphics.drawstring to print labels and textboxes. One of the labels is "#". Whenever I print, although it is centered in its label on the screen, the text in the label aligns to the left. Is there a way to get it to center? This is happening with all my textboxes and labels.

I was unhappy with the kerning in one of the installed fonts on my system, so I re-defined the kerning in a font editor and installed the revised font (under a new name) on my system. When I use the new font in Microsoft Word or Adobe Photoshop, my new kerning works fine - but when I use Drawstring in a VB program, although the new font is used, the kerning instructions are ignored.Does anyone know if this a feature of the Graphics.Drawstring method, or am I failing to set a switch somewhere? If it's a feature, is there another method which kerns correctly?

A recent assignment asked me to write a program to print a business expense report. The example form showed both a print and a print preview button so I assumed that meant not to show my output in a listbox. The problem that I had is I kind of ran into a catch 22 situation. If I declare some of the variables as strings, then I can't get the program to perform the addition arithmetic, it wants to only concatenate. If I declare them as integers or double then I can't get them to be recognized by the Drawstring command. The strange thing, to me as a beginner anyways, is that it did perform the arithmetic on a variable (meals) that I declared as a string initially. It multiplied it by 50% as I requested. If it wasn't for the concatenation, this would have worked perfectly according to the assignment.
The code is below:
Public Class frmBusiness
Const One_Inch As Integer = 100
Const line_height As Integer = 25

how to use DrawString (or any other method) to draw text that's reversed? For example, instead of having black text over a background image, you draw a black filled rectangle over the image, and then use DrawString to "punch through" the black rectangle exposing the image underneath.

I am trying to use DrawString to write text as an image and then rotate it 90 degrees. It works fine with both a bitmap or directly on a PictureBox, but the big difference is in the quality. The PictureBox text drawn has great quality and looks nice. When I draw it on an image it looks horrible and blocky. I've made a few changes to try and get it to look nicer, but it doesn't look nearly as nice as it should.
Sample code:Use a Windows Forms project and place 2 picture boxes on it and a button and run it with the following code to see what I mean:Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I have a routine that creates a report which includes text and graphics. When I print to a PDF or printer the output looks great. When I draw the report on an image to save as a PNG, GIF, JPEG, etc. it does not look as good and I understand that is related to the 96 dpi native resolution. However, I made some modifications, and even though the graphics part of the image looks better, the text does not look as good as the PDF. I am creating the image using 300 dpi and text rendering is set at the highest quality.

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.
