Expose A Font Dialog Similar To The Following?
Sep 12, 2010
I am attempting to do something which isn't particularly obvious (to me at least). Digging around on the web I located the following sample (notice the font sample appears in the list on the left?).[URL] Now I know how to use the font dialog from VB.Net, but don't know the appropriate property to set to get the example to show in the listbox/listview? I set the same properties as the author but it shows a plain text font. I am basically attempting to save my users from having to click through every font to see what they each look like.

Creating a usecontrol:
The control will have numberous properties available at design and run time.
I am having trouble creating and exposing FONT properties for the child objects.
Example: The control will have a label with a designtime and useradjustable Display font. I wish to
1) be able to set the Font attributes via the properties dialog at design time.
2) set those properties via GUI at runtime.
The problem...
Code:
Private propArtistHeaderFont() As Font
Public Property ArtistHeaderFont() As Font
Get
[Code].....
So clearly I can not pass the FONT properties back and forth via the SET/GET method.

everything tests well but when I evoke the function the dialog values default to selections other than what the text was originally/last set to (e.g., color, font, size, etc. in the dialog/menu is not what is shown in my rich text box).how I can set the above values per the text being recalled in the RTB? That is, in the above scenario if I hit the cancel button I lose the original text formatting.
Public Class frmComment
Private Sub FontDialog1_Apply(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FontDialog1.Apply
If Not RichTextBoxPrintCtrl1.SelectionFont Is Nothing Then

I use a fontdialog box in my application allowing users to change the font details within my application. This works fine but unfortunatly I don't seem to be able to set the values in the dialogbox as they are read only.
Basically if the user has Bold Wingdings set and wishes to change it to something else then when they open up the fontdialog box I would like to be able to set the font to wingdings and bold so the user can see what they previously selected. Word seems to do this so why cant I?

I'm having a bit of trouble with my project here... and Google isn't helping very much. To put it briefly, I'm currently making a sticky note program (one fairly similar to Sticky Notes, for those of you familiar with Windows Vista or 7). It's relatively simple, as the "note" itself is basically a glorified Rich Text Box.
My problem is this: I obviously want to allow some for some customization with the font, however I don't want to use a standard full-on Dialog Box. So I designed a small form with 2 Combo Boxes--one for font and the other for size--and 2 buttons, "OK" and "Cancel". What I'm attempting to do is program this form (named dlgFont) to more or less be recognized as a Font Dialog Box. I've got some of it figured out I think, but I can't seem to put the pieces together in a way that actually works.In the code for my main form, I have this within the Class... stuff:
Friend WithEvents dlgFont As System.Windows.Forms.FontDialog
As for the Command Button that pulls up the dialog box itself, well, it's actually a Context Menu Strip Item... I'm not really sure what to put. So far I've only tried this:
dlgFont.ShowDialog
And for the Apply event, I've got the generic stuff:
Private Sub dlgFont_Apply(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dlgFont.Apply
If dlgFont.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Me.Font = dlgFont.Font
End If
End Sub
That's all I have for the main form. This is what dlgFont looks like: 'A limited-ability font dialog box.
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Friend Class dlgFont

I'm using the font dialog and have noticed that when I select/highlight portions of text and then cancel out of the dialog, the selected text is changed to the default settings (i.e., font type, style, size, color, etc).
Is there a way to preserve the original text settings?

I have a .NET exe that I wrote and it has a couple properties that I made public and want to expose.
I want to shell this exe (Process.Start()) and then somehow reference this exe and get access to these public properties. These properties expose information about the running exe.
I know how to shell to the exe. And I know how to add a reference to the exe from my project that I want to use this object. But how do I get access to the properties of this running exe?
If you do know the answer maybe you could just tell me what the standard method is to expose properties of a running exe to another application at run-time.

Say I have a class that stores a value, and raises events when that value is changed:
[code]...
also say that I have a container class which contains a number of objects of this style, and raises its own event when any contained object changes its value:
[code]...
Given this setup, what is the best way to expose the stored variables in the StoreEventMonitors class? As three integers As three RaiseEventWhenStoredValueChanges objects?there is a good reason to use three different event-raising Objects, instead of simply writing a new class which stores three integers.

I have a simple desktop application that uses a .NET setup project (.msi file) to perform the installation. On the first installation, everything proceeds in a timely fashion with good feedback for the user.The problem occurs when the user is installing the latest version of the application over an old version on their machine.There is an unacceptably long delay of about 60 to 180 seconds from the time the installer's 'Welcome' dialog [It's not the Welcome dialog, I've removed that from the Start section of the setup project and replaced it with a CheckBox dialog to ask if the user wants a shortcut on the desktop] disappears until the 'Progress' dialog appears. The user sees minute(s) of blank screen and thinks the install has stopped or failed.
In the setup project properties, I've got the 'DetectNewerInstalledVersion' and 'RemovePreviousVersions' properties set to true. So, I believe that while nothing appears to be happening, the installer is actually removing the old version. The 'Progress' dialog does not appear until the new version begins installation.I've been trying to either:
a) Get the 'Progress' dialog to display immediately after the 'Install Icon' dialog disappears
b) Show another dialog while the Uninstall is running to let the user know that the setup is still running and everything is OK.
I have been unsuccessful with both methods. I'm using VS 2008 SP1?

I often use the process of displaying a dialog from a form, with the dialog user input then used to update the main form without any problem. In a new scenerio I launch the main application screen, I then show a login dialog ontop of the main app screen and can launch another dialog from the login if a new user is required. The plan is to update the login dialog (updating a combobox to reflect the addition of a new user) from the new user dialog.
See code below :-
'Update login forms user list as new user added successfully
frmRoomBookingLogin.cboLogin.DataSource = Nothing
frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text = "Updating password from dialog"
MessageBox.Show("The password text is " & frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text)
[code]....
The messagebox implies the dialog has been updated yet the text does not change. Is it possible to update the dialog when using a setup such as Form -> dialog -> dialog? I'm intrigued as why the dialog does not reflect changes. I have never refreshed/repainted the dialog as never required to in my other examples when updating a form from a dialog and never encountered a problem when using a two tier form setup.
