View 14 RepliesI am writing some text in a control using Graphics.DrawString I need to measure the width of the drawn text in pixel.
I tried to mesure it using:
Graphics.MesureString
TextRenderer.MesureText
GetTextExtentPoint32A (API)
All these method of mesuring the string returns different values for the width, and they are all the wrong value They all mesure the narrow caracteres as "i" as being narrower then they realy are and the wide caractere as "W" as wider than they realy are What would the proper way to draw and/or mesure a string to get the right position on the screen where the text ends
just say I have a string as follows:

I know that you can return the length of a string, which results in the number of characters and spaces. Is there a way to return a width of the string in say, pixels,inches or some unit of measurement.

I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
Is it Possible for me to read text from textbox control and write it to .txt file at specific location.
for an instance.... say below with quote is my Text in .txt file:
"THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMP OVER THE LAZY DOG"
and with programming code I want to change some text in the same sentance become....(see below)
"THE QUICK GREY FOX JUMP OVER THE LAZY CAT"
so you can see the word BROWN change to GREY and word DOG change to CAT

What I am doing is creating a simple login and register system. I am going to save the information of each user into a text or ".dat" format and have them placed into a folder called "accounts".The small problem that I have is the "Forgot Password" option. I can't think of how to search all the documents for the e-mail or the username.So basically I need to know if it is possible to do a small search for the e-mail through all the documents in the "accounts" folder.
-I know another option may be databases...but I don't completely know how to use these.
-I have general knowledge of arrays
I need to extract the whole string if the string has today's date on it. I have already coded a string that displays today's date in the following format - yyyy/MM/dd And I've coded the parsing links bit, now I need to simply search the Listbox and return the first string with the date. [Code]
View 11 RepliesI have a little question about txt-files...This is the case: I am going to make a small software for editing particular parts in text files, so you don't have to do it by hand. In this program, i need to find several words in a text file and retrieve the text or number that is after the the "="-sign, and then replace that info. Then, I want to use the information it retrieves to add some text in the end of the file.
P.S. There are 36 differet words to search for, and some of them will occur in several places, so i want the data from those words that occur several times in an array. And the data i want to retrieve is AFTER the searchword and a "=", so i dont want the searchword or the equals-sign included. Can someone explain to me how to do this?
