View 7 RepliesI'm trying to make each letter a "square" essentially, so each letter is no more tall than it is wide, in vb.net. Is this possible? If so, how? I can't seem to find anything, and I've been searching hard.
View 2 RepliesI am pasting into a RTB from the clipboard and from different sources.At the end, I want to reformat the content of the RTB in a way that all font styles (such as bold, italic etc) remain unchanged, but only the line spacing gets uniform.
I do not find a way to change line spacing without changing the font (and at the same time removing all the bold and italic attributes)
change the character spacing of a string or textbox output? One possibility is by creating a custom font, but i am unsure if there is a property in one of the overloads that will allow me to change character spacing?!

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to change the font in a RichTextBox without having to select the text I want to change first. I know I can select text and change it like this:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find("working")
Dim tfont As New Font("Arial", 16, FontStyle.Regular)
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = tfont
What I want to do is set a font and then any text added to the richtextbox will use that font. Then I want to set another font and all text after that point will use that font and so on. I'm adding text to the RichTextBox with code, but I'd eventually like to add a RichTexBox to an app where the user enters the text and can change fonts like a word processor.What I'm try to accomplish would go something like this:
' Set the font for the header here
rtbPrint.Text = rtbPrint.Text & mHeader & vbCrLf
'Set the font for the body here
rtbPrint.Text = rtbPrint.Text & mBody & vbCrLf
i am having trouble in sending text, when i send the text in textbox2 it sends into a normal way where as i selected my font as bold and size=10, i want the font which i have selected in richtextbox should display according to it if no font is selected then it can display in regular way.

View 6 RepliesI have a richtextbox with multiple colored text in it. When I change the font, the color table is removed and everything changes to the default fore color. Anyone know of a why to preserve the color table and formatting when changing the font? I know I could build the RTF manually, but I really want to avoid that if possible.
View 2 RepliesI've got a richtextbox control on a form and a menustripitem that allows me to change the font style. What I want to be able to do is to allow the user to type text into the richtextbox control; then if they change the font style using the menu only for newly entered text to change font, and any previously typed text to stay in the previously selected font. The problem I'm getting is that all of the entered text's font style is changed.
View 5 RepliesCurrently, the user must first type in the driver they're new folder is located in (Like C , D , E , ect). This then takes them to where the pre-determined folder is located. However, my friend decided to make this harder for me. He now wants the user to be able to change the 'pre-determined' folder.
As you can see, they type the driver name in and then it sends them to a path that is in the richtextbox. However, with them now being able to change the path if they like, the thing looks like this.. (If they decided to browse for a new path)[code]...

I am a vb newbie having some trouble with an assignment. A user enters a letter into a text box, and the output must make the letter uppercase and tell what position the letter is at in the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog."
Here is my
Private Sub btnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
[CODE]...............
This is what comes out: "A first occurs in position -1". Everything comes out except the position is always displayed as -1.
More questions from me, how can you miss lines? eg: TExtttttt more text (First Line) [code]
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to change the font in a RichTextBox, but it's not working:
RichTextBox.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"
this apparently read only
With RichTextBox
.SlectionFont = "Times New Roman"

here I need a System.Drawing.Font class and not a string
I need to use a richtextbox, not a normal textbox because of the way it keeps the caret position, from line to line. But I need to keep the text at the same font all the time even if it is pasted. At the moment I have it selecting the entire text and changing the font to the original (Lucida Console) but it look horrible when you paste into it as it flashes blue.
View 2 Replieswhat's the best way to add some space between some columns, just to aid the user to read/understand the data (i have more than 50 columns).In this particular case i'm using a data bound dgv and one approach that i'm using currently, it's in the SQL statement add a new column named SPACE1, SPACE2, etc...Something like:
SQL
SELECT col1,col2,NULL AS SPACE1,col3,NULL AS SPACE2...
I know that i can add columns at runtime, and handle the cell paint event to change the left and rigt margins... But i don't know what option should i use, does anyone know a better way or in the above three it's the best one?
I need to set the color of the font every time I add text to the RichTextBox
I'm using. RtbResults.AppendText(DisplayPacket)
To add a new line of text, but each line needs to be a set color.I found this on the net but it doesn't seem to work in my VS11b RtbResults.AppendText(DisplayPacket,forecolor,backcolor,font)
Are these the correct overloads? can I do this another way if this doesn't work?I don't want to have to insert the text then go back and select and change its color.
I'm having trouble adjusting the font style in a RichTextBox and I've seen a few different approaches that talk about single attributes (like toggling bold on and off)... but I'm trying to make it so that my font class can adjust any attribute (bold, italic, underline).
I realize that Font.Style is a set of Boolean flags (a bitfield?)... but I'm not sure how to handle the attributes all at once.
Here is the troublesome code:
Public Sub ModifyFontStyle(Optional ByVal Plain As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Bold As Object = Nothing, _
Optional ByVal Italics As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Underlined As Object = Nothing)
[Code]....
What is happening to the font? The text should be underlined and in italics not strikethrough...
Is this a logic error or a simple misunderstanding on my part?
how change font color for some word in Richtextbox example : when write "The lost" in Rich font color change to blue ...and other word don't change ...other example : same "DIM","AS" and "integer" in VB.NET ,,how i can do it?how to save the word from richtextbox to text file ?
Note : I'm using VB.NET 2008
this code does the change, but I noticed a little unwanted effect.if you have some text mark up for esample 24pt, selected. and run this code. you will lose the mark up.
Private Sub Styles_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnBold.Click, BtnItalic.Click, BtnUnderline.Click, BtnStrikeOut.Click
Static styleValue As Integer = 0 Const bold As Integer = 1, Italic As Integer = 2, UnderLine As Integer = 4, StrikeOut As Integer = 8 'Since more than 1 button is attached to this event, the if statement will sort out what button was pressed to fire this event If TypeOf (sender) Is Button Then

I am using visual studio 2010 and I put a font dialog to change in a rich textbox. I tried this code:
richtextbox1.Font.Name = Fontdialog1.font
and it didnt work I dont know why.
I am building a word pad clone with extra a few extra features. I am trying to get two combo boxes (one with font names, the other with font sizes) to apply their selected attribute to the selected text in a richtextbox. This was my latest attempt, and I think I'm starting to get close, but I still get an error for InvalidCastException - Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

I am trying to add formatted text to a rich text box..For instance, I want to add a heading as bold ("HEADING: ") and some data after it as regular ("REGULAR Data")...then a new line and do it all over again.
first name: blah
last nem: blahh
etc...etc...
I'd like to have a couple functions to perform the action.When I use the below functions to add txt to a single rtf box, I get lines in either all bold or all regular. It doesn't seem to keep the font formatting after it adds text..
[Code]...
I 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?
How can I make a richtextbox automatically change the font size when the text exceeds the length of the textbox. So basically the text is always visible without moving left or right.
