View 3 RepliesI need to convert between Drawing.Font.Size (float, ?) and WPF FontSize (double, WPF pixels).Finally, I decided to store in the database the fontSize in inch...How can I convert the GDI FontSize to inch and the WPF FontSize to inch?
sizeInInch = wpfFontSize / 96
sizeInInch = gdiFontSize / ?
Can I use something DPI independent? Maybe System.Windows.FontSizeConverter?I need to convert to something, that will allow me to switch multiple time between WPF and GDI without changing the "real value". Each division and following multiplication will accumulate errors...
FontSizeConverter does a ConvertTo, but I don't understand to use it:
myUniversalFontSize = (double)(myFontSizeConverter.ConvertFrom(
gdiFont.SizeInPoints.ToString() + "pt"))
will transform my gdiFont size in ...? WPF Pixels?How now should I convert back that value to GDI?
gdiFont.SizeInPoints = myUniversalFontSize / 96 * 72???
Can I use in the second example the myFontSizeConverter too?

How 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 RepliesI want to have an input from the user to define the font of a rich text box... the only problem is the only way I know how is to use a string... When I use a string it give the error of:

I'm saving the font of a label to a text file, and when I open the text file with my program, I want the label to have the same font that is listed within the text file. Now, the only problem I am having is that when I try to write the code for opening the text file, I can't set the font property of the label to a string. Label1.Font=[Font: Name=Microsoft Sans Serif, Size=9.75, Units=3, GdiCharSet=0, GdiVerticalFont= False]Here is what the code to open the text file and set the font of the label looks like:[code]The problem for the code happens at line 6. The error is: "Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Font'"ing each part of the font in the text file(i.e. Writing Font.Name and Font.Size properties in separate lines and then setting the label's font properties to each line accordingly), but I still get hit with the same error.

View 1 RepliesI'd like to convert a string which contains a decimal number into string that contains the binary value, the octal and the hexadecimal value of that decimal number.Afterwards I also like to convert a string containing a binary, octal and hexd. number into a decimal string.Basically I'm looking for the functions:
dec2bin
dec2oct
dec2hex
bin2dec
oct2dec
hex2dec
I'd not prefer to rewrite a function, I'm sure the framework must have these functions already.

View 3 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.
I can't change change the font size or font name or color of the text in the DHTML Editing Control.
