VS 2005 Label Font Changes On Form Load?
Mar 6, 2010
I 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?

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 am trying to get the font from a label's text to be read into the text.. i can add the font to the label with this code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim myfontdialog As New FontDialog
With myfontdialog
[code]....
but reading it from the label and setting the font to the textbox, is the problem i am facing. i know the code does not read the font as it is displayed in the label's text, so it might be possible to just get the font name in one label, and font size in another, just by locating those two. this i have an idea how to do, just do not know how... if you have a solution on how to locate these two, and add them separately.. getting the font to the label this way, does not show the option of the selection for the font style.. i have tried using my.settings to do so, problem there as well.. basically, i want to be able to save the font selected, and next time the app loads, it loads with those those settings.

I'm looking for help resizing a label's size and its font size based on its window size.That's to say when a window resizes, the label itself adjusts it font and background box to do the same.I know I'm triggering something on the Resize event of the form, but I don't know what.

The insertion part of the form works great. But my problem is in the form load part......If i leave a field blank(Null),then perform Save operation,close the form after successful insertion and then reopen the form,then it retains the previous values during the form load......This is only in case where i leave a field blank in the previous data entry in the database.......But if i enter values in all fields then form load is working great.

I have created a page containing the Wizard control. It's a very simple one. User selects some data on the first page, clicks Next and then has a choice of Previous or Finish. When they click Finish the form is submitted but, for some reason, the font size of all my labels increases. There's nothing in the code of the Finish button that would do that.

I have just converted my first VB6 application to a VB Express version. I have a fair sized library that I would like to convert but I am having a severe problem with a very simple little game program that I selected for a trial conversion. The problem is this. I do a lot of graphic / art work in my GUI and heavily use labels with transparent backgrounds. When I converted to VB Exp 2005 the labels are no longer transparent but rather carry the background color attribute of the Form. Is this how MS implemented transparency in VB 2005? If so the product is of no use to me whatsoever. I checked the Labels attributes and they are set to transparent. But they are not being displayed as such.

I followed the last post about dgvs and have been trying to get my dgvs to have alternate colored lines on form load. In both apps I am working on I am using dgvs to display certain things. I do not like the look of a blank dgv on a form. When I tried to add blank colored lines to my dgv, it did work, but when I loaded the dgv with a dataset, it pushed my columns to the right and I had to add scroll bars to see my data.

I had an old program that I upgraded from VB6 to VB 2008. I am creating a program similar to it in VB 2008. There is a piece of code that I tried to enter into the program I am creating now from my old program. It tells the computer that if the label's text is a certain text that is on the clipboard, then the text size will be smaller.
If
LabelAbsent.Text = My.Computer.Clipboard.GetText Then
Label104.Font = VB6.FontChangeSize(Label10.Font, 8)
When I insert this code into my new program, it doesn't recognize the "VB6" in the code.
How can I get the same result in the program I am currently creating?

I have a form with some labels. If the labels equal certain text, then I want the font size of the label to change.For example, if the text reads "apple",I want the font size of the label to be 16.If the text reads "banana", I want the font size of the label to be 8.This has to occur during runtime without any clicking of the label.I have an idea of the code I want to write in order for this to work, but I need to know where to put the code for the labels.I cannot put this under Label_Click or Form_Load.Where can I put this code so that it works for the labels during runtime?

I'm developing a Windows Forms Application in Visual Basic .NET with Visual Studio 2008.
I'm trying to compose fonts (Family name, font size, and the styles) at runtime, based on user preferences, and apply them to labels.
For the sake of both a simplier user interface, and compatibility between more than one machine requiring to use the same font, I'll NOT use the InstalledFontCollection, but a set of buttons that will set few selected fonts, that I know to be present in all machines (fonts like Verdana).
So, I have to make a Public Sub on a Module that will create fonts, but I don't know how to code that. There are also four CheckBoxes that set the styles, Bold, Italic, Underline and Strikeout.
How should I code this? The SomeLabel.Font.Bold property is readonly, and there seems to be a problem when converting a string like "Times New Roman" to a FontFamily type. (It just says it could not do it)
Like on
Dim NewFontFamily As FontFamily = "Times New Roman"
