View 6 RepliesWhenever i try and load a project i was working on with VB 2010 i get an error saying
"Font 'Arial Rounded MT Bold' does not support style 'Regular'"
how to get rid of this? I recreated my form for the project and copied the code over but it did this again. I didnt change any fonts on the form at all so i dont understand whats going on.
I am developing an application toolbar to be used with our companys CAD software and I have this portion of it Reading the lines of a text file into various comboboxes and such. However, if there are only 12 lines in the text file when I click a button to update and apply the new information i get an error because the file is already open. I need to figure out how to make sure its closed before WriteAllLines kicks in.
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If System.IO.File.Exists("c: emp est2.txt") Then
Dim theFile As String = "c: emp est2.txt"

so one of my error message in my program looks like this MessageBox.Show("You forgot to select a Location!" & ControlChars.CrLf & "You must select a workshop and location then click Add workshop button," & ControlChars.CrLf & "repeat the process few times and" & ControlChars.CrLf & "then click Calculate button to calculate the grand total", "Warning", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning)and i want the texts "Add workshop" and "Calculate" bold or highlighted when the message box appears, how do i do that?
View 3 RepliesI have a rich text box ('RichTextBox1') and a button ('BoldButton'), and have it set up so that whenever the user highlights some text in the box and clicks the bold button, that text becomes bold. That much I've figured out...
Public Class Form1
Private Sub BoldButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BoldButton.Click
Dim Bold As New Font(RichTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = Bold
End Sub
End Class
But I'd also like to add the ability that if the user highlights text that is already bolded, then clicks the bold button, that text will go back to 'regular' font. In other words, I'd like the 'bold' button to be able to toggle between bold and regular font.
I went and created a tab containing a good amount of controls, most of which are contained within what I'll just call the top-level group box. Now I decide I'd like the text of the top-level group box to be bold, but nothing else. When I set the top-level group box's font to bold, however, all of the controls contained within it become bolded as well, which is what I don't want. I can set each individual control's bold property to false, but it seems like there should be an easier way to do this.

I am creating an application and am very new to VB. I have 4 buttons on my form which is like my applications main menu. I would like that each of the buttons behaves in the following way when there is a mouse rollover: The Button back color is changed from the default to Red The Button text is changed to Blue, Bold, and increases in font size I would also like all the buttons to go back to their initial state when the mouse leaves.
Another thing, instead of me writing code for each of the buttons event handlers (Mouse Hovers, and Mouse Leaves) is there a way I can write this code once, maybe as a function and then always call it for any button that I create from here on so that any new buttons take on this behaviour.

View 11 RepliesI have a form that users record some event that is happening. They enter in what different things are occurring, for instance like a Basketball game. When certain events happen "steal", "score", "foul" these will get inputted to a listbox that records the whole game and is timestamped. However for these specific event i want them BOLD . So it would look something like
3:24 STEAL 3:25 #45 stole the ball, passed to #54
Or something like that. How do i get certain items to be bold?
I am donig some FindReplace in my app and I wanted to know if there was a way to bold the text that i'm "replacing".I've found other posts on Bolding text in a RichTextBox through a While loop but I wanted to do this in a string and the .Find is not an option for Strings.Here's my code sample:
Code:
FormatData = Replace(FormatData, "TEST" , "THIS SHOULD BE BOLD")
Can we able to format BOLD and ITALIC to the same text?
View 1 RepliesI just couldn't find the right words to say it but, the thing is, I just want to make a certain word inside a paragraph bold. The word will be automatically set to bold in runtime. See for example the words 'John' shall be all set to bold.
Here is the
tempstr = tempstr.Replace(vbTab, "")
Dim secstr As String = tempstr.Replace(Chr(10), " ")
str = Split(secstr, " ")
[Code]....
the output of the above code is, it only makes the first occurence bold. All other word "John" are just set to Regular text when what I want is to make it all bold.
What is lacking? I used the "for each loop" to visit all the words.
on a timer that ticks every 1ms have it:
if RichTextBox1.Contains "begin" then
change "begin" to "begin".bolded
end if

View 8 RepliesI'm using My.Settings to store some text information which will be displayed to the user under certain conditions. What I'd like to know is whether part of the text (not all of it) can be formatted in bold?
The reason I'm storing in My.Settings is because it can be customized but not to the extent where I need to store it in a database. And while I'm at it, is it possible to format parts of MessageBox text and labels in bold, or is this an all or not at all situation i.e. changing the font property?
I'm adding text string into a list box together with data retrieved from text box, and I wanna bold that text but really don't have any idea how to do so.

View 1 RepliesWe have an ItemCommand that makes a DataGridItem invisible. This is breaking the alternating color scheme that we have applied. Is there a way to re-apply the style without rebinding or manually setting each DataGridItem's BackColor property?
View 2 RepliesSo - I have some text in an RTF control. I want the user to be able to highlight text and apply an attribute. The following code is placed into a button called BOLD and seems to work nicely:
If rtfText.SelectedText.Length > 0 Then
rtfText.SelectionFont = New Font(rtfText.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold)
End If
The code above will turn the selected text bold.
But then the user selects the Same text and with the following code placed into a button called ITALIC it removes the bold attribute and replaces it with italics.
If rtfText.SelectedText.Length > 0 Then
rtfText.SelectionFont = New Font(rtfText.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Italic)
End If
Since the users actions are separate - I can not know that they want BOLD and ITALIC, so how do I make sure I keep the existing attribute on the selected text (which, by the way could be part bold and part not-bold) and add italic?
Somehow I need to add the italic attribute to the selected text, not simply replace all attributes with italic.
