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 1 RepliesHow do you change the colour of the labels(not sure what the correct name is) in a Microsoft Chart Control in VB.
By "labels" I mean the text that is overlaid on every column in a StackedColumn chart.
You can change the Axis labels with the following:
<AxisY LineColor="Red">
<LabelStyle ForeColor="Red" />
</AxisY>
[Code].....
What is the equivalent to target the labels?
I'm looking for a way to change the font colour on alternate rows within a datagrid. e.g. normal row would be green and the alternate row would be blue. I can change either by using
me.datagrid.Styles.Row.Forcolour
me.datagrid.Styles.AlternatingRow.Forcolour
The problem is that I am having trouble using both of them together as I need to manipulate both colours. I have created a HtmlRowPrepared event and have been setting them there, however, If I set the Row.Forcolour first, it will over ride the AlternatingRow.Forcolour and vice versa. This needs to be done via SEVER SIDE code only as the colour choices are held in the database.
I am looking for a regular expression that can convert my font tags (only with size and colour attributes) into span tags with the relevant inline css. This will be done in VB.NET if that helps at all.I also need a regular expression to go the other way as well.To elaborate below is an example of the conversion I am looking for:
<font size="10">some text</font>
To then become:
<span style="font-size:10px;">some text</span>
So converting the tag and putting a "px" at the end of whatever the font size is (I don't need to change/convert the font size, just stick px at the end).The regular expression needs to cope with a font tag that only has a size attribute, only a color attribute, or both:
<font size="10">some text</font>
<font color="#000000">some text</font>
[code]....
I also need another regular expression to do the opposite conversion. So for example:
<span style="font-size:10px;">some text</span>
Will become:
<font size="10">some text</font>
As before converting the tag but this time removing the "px", I don't need to worry about changing the font size.Again this will also need to cope with the size styling, font styling, and a combination of both:
<span style="font-size:10px;">some text</span>
<span style="color:#000000;">some text</span>

I am extracting basic HTML & text from CDATA tags in an XML file and then displaying them on a web-page.The text also appears in a rich-text editor so it can be edited/translated, and then saved back into a new XML file. The XML is then going to be read by a flash file, hence the need to use old-fashioned HTML.
The reason I want to convert this code is mainly for display purposes. In order to show the text sizes correctly and for it to work with my rich text editor they need to be converted to XHTML/inline CSS. The rich text editor will also generate XHTML/inline CSS that I need to convert 'back' to standard HTML before it is saved in the XML file.I know the temptation will be to tell me a number of different ways to set up my code to do what I want but there are so many other permutations I haven't even mentioned which have forced me down this route, so literally all I want to do is convert a string containing standard HTML to XHTML/inline CSS, and then the same but the other way round.
How can I create a contructor for this.I have a constructor already in my class as follows :

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:

I 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)

View 1 RepliesHow 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 have a basic VB.net app that displays a picture box with some text. nothing special. looks fine on my computer. If I display it on someone else's computer with a larger font size (125%?) my picturebox and text looks off and stupid.
How do people account for this? Should I simply get the new font size and multiple all positions, lengths and widths of object by 1.25?
I'd obviously like my dialog to scale properly and look as expected in any display no matter what font size is selected.
