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 RepliesI'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.
View 1 Repliesthis is what i need to do: In the right-hand label, invert the colors of the image. Hint: the inverting white should give black and inverting black should give white. Inverting red (255,0,0) gives cyan (0,255,255). visual basic express 2008 this is what i have, what do i need to make changes to in order to accomplish this?

Not for pictures, but for text and backgrounds also in the form. Is this possible?

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?

I 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#.

public partial class MyDateTimePicker : DateTimePicker

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)

i'm currently wonder how to let the users change the font size via a combo box(I have it set up for Small,Medium and Large) That should be fairly easy. The next is more complex. I want users to be able to browse for an image and use it as the background image of the program.
View 4 RepliesAlright inside of a combo box I have a list of colors and I want to change the background color of the combo box to the selected color...basically this... but im not sure what the problem is here anyone have some advice or is this not possible?
CBLinerColor.BackColor() = CBLinerColor.Items.Item(0)
Basically i want dynamic code that will change the color depending on the items in the box.
How do I make it so that each item in the same listbox can have a different font color?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to have a vertical scroll bar on a form.I would like the value of the scroll bar to be, from top to bottom, 35 to -35.
I tried to set the minimum value to 35 and max to -35, but vb wont allow it.
Is there a way to do this without catching the value when it's changed and storing the inverted value in a variable?
A co-worker is having a problem trying to display the time in a label. He wants the AM/PM to display smaller than the time numerals. Neither of us knows of any way to change the font size within the same label, so we tried using two labels. That works for the different sizes, but we can't seem to get the appearance to 'flow' correctly without overlapping the labels, and then part of the text gets cut off.
We tried setting the padding to 0, but that still leaves a noticeable gap. We tried setting the background of the front label to transparent, but that didn't work for some reason. The left label (time) in right-aligned and the right label (AM/PM) is left-aligned, and that's as close as we can come.
Any way to either change the font size within one label or to overlap two labels without one obscuring part of the other? Or, maybe, a way to create a label so the text actually starts at the very edge of the label? (I'm doubting this last-I suspect the problem is that each character is defined, by the font, as occupying a 'block' of space.)
I have the following string which i want to convert to a Font

How do I make it so that each item in a listbox can have a different font color? This is the only basic code i know that can change the font color of the listbox items. When I go to add a 2nd item and set the color, the first item in the listbox also changes to that color, I don't want that.
ListBox1.ForeColor = ColorDialog1.Color
Well, I have an embedded font in my project. I want to use it in a RichTextBox or TextBox but I don't know how to.
View 11 RepliesI have set my forms font as "Segoe UI, 14.25pt" and have just placed an single label on the form.
Upon placing the label by default it gets the forms font i.e Segoe UI, 14.25pt
i have placed the following code on the labels textchange event
Private Sub Label1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.TextChanged
Dim f As New Font(Me.Label1.Font, FontStyle.Italic)
Label1.Font = f
MessageBox.Show(Label1.Font.Name)
End Sub
Now when the form is loaded , i get a message box showing the labels font name as "Microsoft Sans Serif"
The labels font size also changes to 8 but it is italic.
Why is this happening? And why does the textchange event occur on the form load?
