View 1 RepliesI want to have some labels on a form with the same font color as the caption on my group boxes, and furthermore I want these colors to change if the user has applied a different Theme on their system.
Can I do this without changing the GroupBox caption from its default?[code]...
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 like: VB General google fast cars username password
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.
View 3 RepliesI can't change change the font size or font name or color of the text in the DHTML Editing Control. I have 2 listbox controls FontNameList containing all of the installed fonts on my PC and FontSizeList containing some numbers to be used as fontsize and I use the execommand and build my App but the font did not change instead it grew bigger but when I tryed to change it back it stayed the same. The Code for that was:
Design.ExecCommand(5044, False, Font.Name)
This is my source that I created
Private Sub FontToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FontToolStripMenuItem.Click
FontDialog1.ShowDialog()
RichTextBox1.Font = FontDialog1.Font
End Sub
Private Sub ColorToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ColorToolStripMenuItem.Click
ColorDialog1.ShowDialog()
RichTextBox1.ForeColor = ColorDialog1.Color
End Sub
When I want to change color and font in richtextbox, all of text in textbox is changed. How to make source code that change color and font in text that we highlight.
I am building a text editor kind of like Notepad++ and I would like to set up the color coder for key words such as And. I will be doing this for VBScript and Java.I would like the keywords to change when the file is saved for example, when the user loads a blank document nothing will be color coded but if the document is saved as .vbs the keywords for vbs will be blue and comments ' will be green.
View 2 RepliesWhen you add a label from the the toolbox, the default font is always Microsoft Sans Serif, Regular, 8. I like to use Ariel as my font of choice. Is there a way to change the default font setting so I don't have to pick the font I want every time? I've looked under Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors and I can't find it there.

so I created a new control. When the user changes the font, I don't want the user to change the font past font size 14. If the user changes the font past 14, the font should reset to 14.Here is what I have so far.
Private Sub LoginControl_FontChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.FontChanged
Dim myFont As Font
[code].....
The problem here is that this code makes the font, Arial 12 static, and whenever I change the font size, the font always goes back to Arial 12.
I created a new User Control. I want to set a minimum Font for it. I put the code in the Font_Changed Event. Here it is.
Private Sub LoginControl_FontChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.FontChanged
Dim myFont As Font
[Code].....
It keeps telling me that myFont.Size is ReadOnly. How do I get around that?
When setting a point 10 font size in VB6:
[Code]....
The reported size is 10. Can someone explain the difference here? My hunch is that VB6 is using a .75 step because my system is configured at 96 DPI, and .NET is not using said step, or not reporting its usage, but I'm not sure.
I am trying to set the "ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle" property to the "GoudyHvyface BT" font and it will not change from the default. I am using Visual Basic 2008.
I have set the property properly with no success.
I have tried to set the property in code, using the suggestions in the MSDN and it kept throwing errors.
I have an application that contains a RTB where I allow the user (through a button) the ability to bold selected text. the code to bold is this:
Private Sub btnBold_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnBold.Click
rtbComments.SelectionFont = New Font(rtbComments.SelectionFont.FontFamily, rtbComments.Font.Size, rtbComments.SelectionFont.Style Xor FontStyle.Bold)
End Sub
In VB6 I would simply retrieve the user font setting from the .ini file, load into variables and then apply to the appropriate control.
text1.fontbold = userfontbold
text1.fontitalic = userfontitalic
text1.fontunderline = userfontunderline
etc.
I'm struggling to understand how to do this vb.net The following code works, but sets all three at one time
Text1.Font = New Font("Courier", 10, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic Or FontStyle.Underline)Since the user can have many different combinations of settings, I would like to be able to add just one of these properties at a time, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I am trying to find an example of code to help me set the font size of a richtextbox.
View 2 Replieshow to change the following lv font color base on the values?
For example: If the values are negative in red color, positive in green.
ListView1.Items(ListView1.Items.Count -
1).SubItems.Add(CDbl(reader("Close").ToString) - (reader("Open").ToString))
Also, I am having a problem on rounding the decimal place value on the above code.
For example:
If the result comes out xx.xx, then the my lv shows the value as xx.xxxxxxxxx. Actually I would like it to display only 2 decimal places.

View 7 RepliesI have created an instance of a Rich Text Box:
Dim RichText As New RichTextBox()
I was able to write to it using:
RichText.AppendText("Text")
I was able to save the document to a file:
RichText.SaveFile("C:TempRTDoc1.rtf")
What I cannot find is how to set the font, and font size. IntelliSense doesn't help. Everything is "read only", meaning retrieve a current value.
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.

How can I change font color of a string. I set the fore color properties of the label holding the string but seems that only works when the string is displayed in that label. Is there a way of setting the color of a string itself such that it displays any where with that color by default. I am actually sending this string as email but wanted to format it in a way that it will display differently however it doesn't.
