Scroll The Text Inside The Label For Anything That Is Longer Than The Label Width?
Apr 5, 2009
I am using a label to display a song for an mp3 player. I wanted to scroll the text inside the label for anything that is longer than the label width. I figured out the width of the label and if the width of the text inside the label is longer. But I have no idea how to turn this into subtracting parts/pixels of the text currently displayed and how to append the subtracted parts to the end of the new text.
Sub f1timer2tick()
Dim g As Graphics = f1l2.CreateGraphics
Dim s As SizeF
If f1l2.Text.Length > 19 Then
Is there any way to detect if the text in a label is longer than the label itself (assuming autosize is set to false)? I want to trim the text in a label so the last line is a finished sentence (everything after that sentence is removed). I hope you understand what I mean.
I want to go from this:"Hello. This is a test string. Most test stri..."
I am trying to make my first program in vb.net 2010, and I have a question.ou know how when you have a button, the text centers itself within the frame of the button?I have a label in my application, that displays a different text (through the label) everyday.
I have this label inside a repeater <asp:Label id="lblsub" runat=server text="sdds" /> I am trying to change the text of this label,this is the code behind
[Code]...
unfortunately this code doesn't work for me ,the text value doesn't change,
I have an xml document on the internet right. Lets say it contains: <tag>goose</tag> What I want to do, is when the user clicks a button in my vb form it looks for the "tag" tag and finds the text inside the tags which is goose. Then it sets a label to equal goose, or whats in those tags.
Is there an effecient way to give one label the ForeColor, BackColor and Text of another one of 3 possible labels? I need to do this frequently for a dozen labels in a windows form.
basically i need to change the text of a label where the name of the label comes from the value of a variable.So, for example,
Dim x as String = "lblTarget" Dim y as String = "Target Text"
In this case the text of "lblTarget" would need to be come "Target Text". Basically, the label that is named the value of variable x would need to take on the text of variable y.
I have a form that I am loading text (strings) from a database into a label.text (so the text from the database shows up into the label) I have done this code in a class that keeps all my database stuff seperate.
Public Function getQuestions() As List(Of String) Dim question As New List(Of String) objConnection.Open() objReader = objcommand.ExecuteReader
[CODE]...
Within the form that the label is in I have done this code
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Label1.Text(db.getQuestions().ToArray) End Sub
I am basically making a quiz, so that when the form loads, question 1 is on there is 4 possible answers. You then press next button and it goes to the next question.
1. How to make content in a label scroll horizontally from the right to the left? And I want it to loop nonstop so that it can keep scrolling once and once again nonstop.
2. For example, my label is multi-lined and has line A and B. What about if I want:
Line A scroll from the bottom to the top -> Line A pauses for 10 seconds(for users to read it)-> after that line A dissapears itself -> line B scrolls up -> Line B pauses for 10 seconds(for users to read it)-> after that line B dissapears itself-> (back to the first step)
I'm trying to create a bunch of labels during runtime that will be "inside" a picture box, so when I move them, if their new coordinates are outside the box's dimensions they wont display, or if they're right on the edge of the box only half the label will be visible etc.
I thought label.Parent = picturebox would work but it doesn't seem to do anything, and Google keeps telling me to set the label's container to the picturebox - which sounds right, but maybe it's no longer a VB.NET thing since the Container property seems to be Read Only.
I'm trying to validate a form to be filled out by the users, and when the required section isn't filled, I increment an
ErrorCount += 1
variable to show that error(s) have occurred inside the program, I then also set an
ErrorArray()
to whatever the corresponding field number is, now I have 0-12 (13 fields). What I have also done is titled the labels that are associated with all of these fields to correspond with the ErrorArray() value that might be set, such as.
PatLabel0 PatLabel1 etc.
What I am trying to do is loop through the array contents, depending on which ErrorArray() values have been set, to go and set the corresponding fontcolor property of that label to red, to show that these now need to be filled out. This is what I have, but Visual Studio doesn't allow me to use the iteration through the loop as a reference to changing properties. Can anyone point me in the right direction to trying to figure this out, or at least tell me what else I could do. Just seems doing 20 if....then....else.... statements with 2 - 3 lines in each of them is redundant when 1 function line could do the same job. This is what I have.
for i = 0 to UBound(ErrorArray(12)) if(ErrorArray(i) = "*")then PatLabel(i).forecolor = color.red
[code]....
that is basically all im looking for initially, but I can't do it.
I would like the size of a label to be identical to the space used by the text inside. The height and width of a label does indeed change depending on its content (text property and its font), but there is a wide margin that I would like to remove.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 and have been slowly getting into threading. My current project has a form with a button that in turn starts two threads. The form itself has two labels on it that are used to display the progress of the computations. Each thread has a delegate defined to change the value of the respective label (as the labels are not defined in the thread, but on the form itself). The threads call subs from a separate class. All of the calculations work flawlessly. My problem is that the labels do not visually update. Through use of message boxes at the end of each loop, I know that the label text property is, indeed, being changed, but it is not actually refreshing and updating on screen.
My delegate code is as follows (I grabbed this code off of another forum where people had the same issue - it seemed to work for them, but not for me):
Private Delegate Sub UpdatePMLabelTextDelegate(ByVal s As String) Private Sub UpdatePMLabelText(ByVal s As String) ' Are we in the same thread as the label itself?
is its possible to have a link/button inside a textbox or label... or other term for that...for example.. i am populating some chapters in a book... then i would only display 250 chars from each chapter... then i would end it and add a "Read More" text in each chapter.. and when they click it.. i would populate the whole chapter of selected chapter in the textbox...
I am making a custom menu. I am applying colors on panels on mouse enter and mouse leave.I have labels on these panels, and the mouse enter and leave events work snappy, but as soon as I hover over the label (on/inside) the panel, the mouse leave event is fired. I know I can just do the same thing for the label mouse enter event, but I am doing some other visual stuff, and I need to have the label mouse events totally disregarded.
I've been struggling with something I imagined would be simple. My aim is to create a TextBox or Label with in a GroupBox using VB.net, yes I could use the Toolbox/Common Controls to do this easily, but it's a pain when planning on making more than just one or two of them
Here's my current coding to create the actual text box.
[Code]...
All that works perfectly, but how would I allow it to show up within a GroupBox?
Private Sub uiSCORE_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles uiSCORE.Click 'Displays Correct or Wrong in Labels If ui1Textbox.Text.ToUpper = "FOOD" Then[code]....
I finally finished all my labels and textbox codes for this button.But now I have to code it so that I will be able to click the button and it will calculate all the wrong and correct answers in the labels and then finally place the percentage score in the uiScorePercentagelabel. What I dont understand is how to calculate all the different labels as one and then show the percentage right in the appropriate label.
I have been using vb6 for a while, I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right? It won't let me do it! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions! I have the vb.net sp1 installed.
I'm try to hide the label after few second but it is updating page continuously after 10sec, i just want it once time when i click save button label on display me successfully for 10sec and get disappear
I have it so that for each entry node in the XML file, it creates a new label then it creates a textbox under it. Both are added to a Collection so I can reference and delete them later. The label and textbox are set inside a panel container. I'm planning to make changes to the interface.
How to move a label up, down, left, right inside the panel control? The label should move up when I press a "button for up", the label should move down when I press button "button for down".
I have a form on with I have a label inside a panel, with a button I can open a fontdialog and change the font of the label (inside the panel). The font (name and size) I also display in 2 textboxes. This works as far. But I also want to display in a different label (so not the same as the label inside the panel) which fontstyle is selected (at this point when I select bold, the number 1 is displayed in the label, but I want to the word Bold displayed. Also I found out that when I make the fontsize smaller, the label inside the panel isn't align in the middle of the panel.
is it possible to show a figure in one Label in another label through a button click event? for instance, i have a figure in label1 and i want to display that figure in a label of another form is it possible?
