VS 2008 - RichTextBox Control On Form (Change Font Style)
Sep 14, 2010
I'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.
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
How do i change the font of the entire form/application by having a box to pop up for user to choose what font size, style he/she wants. I've got a toolstrip labeled Font already but i cant find any tutorial teaching me what code to place inside.
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?

I wanted to create a combo box loaded with installed regular fonts and painted with its own font's style. I was able to load the font's name but not the painting of the font's style. [code].........
I am using the following code to change the selected code in richtextbox, but when I change the font from combobox it changes the windows size as well. Whats the problem,
how will I set the font style and font size of my textbox in a programmatic way? Also, if possible, a code that displays the different font style on a combo box.
I'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:

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
