View 10 RepliesI am trying to convert a value from a radio list box that is populated by an access database. The database loads fine, I have no trouble with that. My issue is that I am trying to take the value of the radio button chosen and turn it into a font color. Therein lies my problem. I see that it cannot be a string, but when I turn it into an object, I get an error. I will note that I am using VS 2008 (Windows Vista x64), and the database is compatible with a 2002 - 2003 Access database. I am using ASP.NET for my programming, however, I am trying to program it in VB. This is my code:

Whenever 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'm creating a basic text editor and I wish to include the option to change the font, font colour and background colour of the text box. Is there a way I can ask VB to display a font/font colour selection box or do I have to populate a combo box and code it all myself?
View 2 RepliesI'm searching for a way to change the font size of selected text in a RichTextBox (rtf) having different font families (e.g. Arial and MS SansSerif) and font styles (underline, bold...) using the FontDialog, but without changing the families and styles. The following code resets all the font attributes, which is not what I want:

How can I create a contructor for this.I have a constructor already in my class as follows :
Public Sub New()
Text = "Hello World"
TextFont = New Font(System.Drawing.FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 10, FontStyle.Italic)

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?
I'm trying to make a wee word pad application in an attempt to learn visual basic.
I've got a combo box which has a list of fonts on the system:

For Each X As FontFamily In fonts.Families
cmbFontName.Items.Add(X.Name)

How do I apply 2 font styles to the text selected in a richtextbox? Used this method to change fontstyle:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold)
But with this method I can only apply 1 font-style (for example bold OR italic OR underlined, etc.) right? But I want to apply for example 2 front-styles, or just add the font style ( so I can add several front-styles to the selected text, for example the text is bold, and then ALSO make it underlined (with this method I can only change the font-style, only one font-style)), how do I do this?
Just do so:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)
I'm working on a word processor (yes, the thread with the quit forms and the count times open is the same word processor)
It's called iRobosoft Word. The 3rd version is at sourceforge and the 4th is in RC stage.
The 4th version is quite a major upgrade, but back to the topic.For font I used:
Private Sub Rich_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Rich.TextChanged
Font1.Text = Rich.SelectionFont.ToString

View 14 RepliesHow 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.

View 1 Repliesam writing a program in vb.net 2008 ...

View 14 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

View 3 RepliesJust wondering if someone can at least point out where I'm going wrong here. I've already got the code to populate the listbox by a button click from the user and am just trying to figure out how exactly to alter the text of a label based on what the user selects in the listbox. From what I have the Label will display the case else selection but nothing else despite my best efforts to get it to change. Here is what I've tried. I realize it is very trivial, but I am only a beginner to programming.

How do I change the font of the Form's Title?
View 3 RepliesI am attempting to create a MS Word (2010) document using automation (but not VSTO). My problem (for the moment) is that I don't know how to set a word (or set of words) to be bold. I can set the bold on an entire paragraph, but not part of the paragraph.
Here is an example:
sText = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
oPara1 = oDoc.Content.Paragraphs.Add
oPara1.Range.Font.Name = "Arial Narrow"
oPara1.Range.Font.Bold = True
[code]....
The above sample will turn the entire paragraph bold. However, if I want to just set the word "fox" bold, this I can't do. I did find a solution that will search and replace every instance of the word "fox" (or just the first instance), but this is not a valid option for the project I'm working on where the word "fox" might appear half a dozen times but only one of those (that I select) would be bold.
