View 2 RepliesI might be coming up with a few dumb questions over the next few weeks because I am trying to push myself to learn VB 2008. So I think this is the first.I have figured out how to get a datareader to pull data from a MySQL database, pass it from a module back to my form, but when I try to put it in a combobox, the text is always left-aligned. I had never thought about this before because I think I have only ever put text in one before in VB6. However, this time it is numeric and left aligned numerics don't line up well when the numbers look like
1000
2500
20000

The groupbox text is set to TopLeft position if "RightToLeft" property to "No", and to TopRight position if "RightToLeft" property to "Yes". But if I want the text to be set in center, how to do that?
View 2 Repliesi want to know how to change the text alignment example text from left to middle in listbox also i would like to know how to make the text appear automatically when i run the program
example in listbox "Welcome To Atm Machine"
On my form I have a Combo Box with long text strings. These are accomodated fine by DropDownWidth property. However, when an item is selected from the list, it appears aligned to the Left not the Right as I would expect.
View 3 RepliesTrying to build my credits menu for a finished piece of software but I can't get the text to auto correct its self and auto align its self. Basically I want it to align its self after each cycle or rotation/tick. The text needs to be centered in the form.
Private Sub CreditCycler_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreditCycler.Tick
If Cycle = 1 Then
txtTitle.Text = "Created by"
txtName.Text = "UOK Software"

I've tried the following but they weren't what I needed/required things I did not use [URL] flowing left to right, not top to bottom [URL] figure out how to implement it. Here's my dilema: I have labels that are dynamically created placed into a table layout. I need the text within these labels to be centered vertically.
[Code]....
vb.net 2010 development environment, Windows XP.
My application displays a data entry screen consisting of rows and columns of text boxes and combo boxes.
Photo attached.
all the controls are created and placed on the form in code.
On a Windows XP machine (where the application is developed) all the controls line up perfectly. However, on a new Windows 7 machine, the result is as pictured in the attached photo. It seems that the combo boxes are slightly taller than the text boxes.
I have adjusted the .height property of the combo boxes, as well as text boxes, but to no avail.
Both the XP machine and the Win7 machine have different screen resolutions. Is that a possibility, and if so, is there a way to size the controls in a resolution-independent way?
I don't understand why my Label and Text controls are aligned when placed on a winform in design mode, but when I run the application the Label and text controls are uneven and spreaded apart. I using VB .Net 2008.
I tried adjusting the TextAlign property on the label control but the problem still exist.
In VB, to do a newline feed its VbCrLf, but to do text format - BOLD and ALIGNMENT (Right, Left, Center)....how?
This is my code that I will use for printing..
1) I want to make Textbox1.text and textbox2.text in BOLD text format and in center alignment that will output to
My printout.. Because the output is always in align left.

How do I set the vertical alinement property for a texted box.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to change the datagrid cellstyle alignment of a column in the designer. I set it to middle right but then I run it and it still aligned to the left. I have a lot of datagrids in my application but there are few that doesn't accept any alignment settings which I don't understand at all, can't see any reason, I been looking through the options if there is anything but can't find anything. I just need one column of cells to be aligned to the right whatever I do all of the columns are aligned left and there is an option in the defaultcellstyle that is sat to middle left, but when I try to change it to Not Set it doesn't change.
View 6 RepliesI want to type the characters from right to left (to behave as a right alignment). But I am not supposed to use the Right Alignment property or the RighttoLeft property of a text box.For example, I want to enter the characters of a string from right and each character should shift one space left so that the user can enter another character after that.

This works fine and dandy as long as I use 8 pt font, but when I change the font to 20 I get the following: How can I get the list box to display colored text in a large font?
Let's say, when you click a button it just opens a specified .txt file and adds the data of it to a listbox. I mean automatically, without that file opening dialog showing?
View 1 RepliesSo, I'm working on a custom LitBox that accepts custom items. needed the item collection to be more than just strings, I needed to be able to store avalue to display in the listbox and an associated value (Property: Text) that holds an index value (Property: Tag) of DataTable I'm working with.I have created the new item (iListBoxItem) and the collection (iListBoxItemCollection) and have modified everything so that I can do normal Collection type methods (Add, InsertAt, RemoveAt, etc) to this collection.

View 18 RepliesI am having problems with copying from one listbox to another and keeping the paths of the files in the listbox's. At the moment i have two listbox's, listbox1 shows the list of files without the directory paths showing. Listbox2 is used to add items from listbox1 which work ok but what i need is to be able to preserve the directory paths to each file. how to do this and have searched high and low for a solution without any luck.
I have worked out one way of doing it but i think there is a better way of doing it as the reverse does not seem to work. So basicly i want listbox1 to list the files without the paths and pass it on to listbox2 so that the files can be copied to temp directory as they are being add to listbox2.
Below is my

I am bringing in data to a richtextbox but when I bring it isn't aligned like i thought it would. Is there a property or something i need to enable to get this to work. Here is how I would have imagined it to work:-I figured this wouldn't display correctly.this was just an example, but was hoping to have the asterisks display even with the last asterisks on the first line and the slash on the last line.
/************************
* *
* Some Text *
************************/
The text when i look at the .Text Property and click the magnifying glass shows it like i would imagine but within the control itself the alignment is all over the place and doesn't make much sense how it is doing it. If i bring the same text file into notepad it all looks fine and is also aligned correctly.what I need to enable to get this to work?
I should also mention that I thought maybe it had something to do with tabs, but when i view the .rtf property for many of the lines that should be aligned still are not even without tabs.
