How to programmatically change foreground color and make bold text in individual cell location on DataGridView control (Visual Basic)?
I use "dgMatrix.Rows(r).Cells(c).Value = x" to assign individual numeric values to individual cells in a DataGridView control. My question; is there a similar way to change foreground color and make bold the text in this cell, by specifying the individual row/column cell location?
For example; for cell (row 3, col 5) in the DataGridView make text in cell say red and bold or blue and bold so as to highlight and distinguish individual cell contents. As needed, I will also need to reset these properties (foreground back to automatic/black and font from bold back to regular); the reset could be done globally to the whole DataGridView as opposed to indiviaually by cell.
Is there a way to access wordpad programmatically so I can set attributes like font, bold, text justify, printer orientation etc etc ? So far, I'm able to launch wordpad from withing VB6 and work with its features.
View 4 RepliesI went and created a tab containing a good amount of controls, most of which are contained within what I'll just call the top-level group box. Now I decide I'd like the text of the top-level group box to be bold, but nothing else. When I set the top-level group box's font to bold, however, all of the controls contained within it become bolded as well, which is what I don't want. I can set each individual control's bold property to false, but it seems like there should be an easier way to do this.

I have two checkboxes in a windows form, one is called New Assumption the second is called Edit Assumption. What I want to do is that if either of these checkboxes are checked then the other should be unchecked.
I have tried using the CheckedChanges event, CheckStateChanged event and Click Event for each of these checkboxes and these events dont seem to be activated anytime I click the checkboxes.
What event and code should I use to uncheck and check checkboxes programatically based on which checkbox a user clicks on?
I have a small VB .Net application that, among other things, attempts to substitute system wide typed text by the user(hotstrings concept). To achieve that, I have deployed 'ahk2exe' and 'AutoHotkeySC.bin' with my application and did the following:When a user assignes a new 'hotstring':
Kill 'hotstring' exe script file if running Append new hotstring to the script file (if non exist then create a new one)Convert edited/new script file to exe (using ahk2exe)Run the newly converted script exe(somewhere there I also check if the hotstring has been already assigned)However, I am not totally satisfied with this method for the following two main reasons:
The extra resources deployed with the application. Lag: The time it takes for the system to kill the process and then restart it takes a minimum of 5 seconds on my fast computer and more on other computers. That amount of time is much more than the time it takes the user to assign the hotstring, minimize/close the window and then test his/her new hotstring. When the user does so initially with no success they will think the process failed. So this method is not very good for user experience.I am looking for a different method or implementation. May be using keyboard hooks? Or maybe adding a .dll library that achieves the same. Are there any resources you know about that might help (free or commercial)? What is the best way to achieve my desired goal?

View 2 Replies(I think) but I wish to make every single instance of whatever is in TextBox3.text to be bold within RichTextBox1.text.
I have the following code:
Code:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find(TextBox3.Text)
Dim bfont As New Font(RichTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = bfont
Do I need to loop it? If so, how? I've already tried with a standard for loop with an infinite counter, but it doesn't increase (doesn't search) past the first bold instance found.
