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.
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 am trying to find an example of code to help me set the font size of a richtextbox.
View 2 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 set the font size and style using Vb code as i'm designing a Notepad like application, and when i start a new form i want to reset all the settings. Everything else is working, i'm just having a hard time working these out.

View 10 RepliesWhats the font size real meaning? since when i use Arial font size 10 in the report its gonna take different space than the textbox im using (Both using exactly same font type/size/unit) its kinda if i set 10 milimiters to the font size why would the i and M for example have so diferent size.
i wish it was like in the Notepad where all the letters take the same space. what i need its to give a certain texbox(in the report) with auto grow to have always the same lines of height but its not posible to calculate it from vb b4 being inputed to the report.

View 5 RepliesI'm writing a couple of custom controls in VB.Net 3.5, in VS2008, and would like to resize the font size based on the height of the control, and vice-versa. Is there any way of converting a font of say 38.25pts into a me.height, or the other way round?
I realise the font width will change dependent on the font used (which isn't an issue for my purposes), but as far as I know, the font height is usually consistent Accessibility/Large font settings won't be an issue with this application.
