Way To Access Wordpad Programmatically So Can Set Attributes Like Font / Bold / Text Justify
Sep 1, 2011
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.
I have a rich text box ('RichTextBox1') and a button ('BoldButton'), and have it set up so that whenever the user highlights some text in the box and clicks the bold button, that text becomes bold. That much I've figured out...
Public Class Form1 Private Sub BoldButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BoldButton.Click Dim Bold As New Font(RichTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold) RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = Bold End Sub End Class
But I'd also like to add the ability that if the user highlights text that is already bolded, then clicks the bold button, that text will go back to 'regular' font. In other words, I'd like the 'bold' button to be able to toggle between bold and regular font.
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.
How do I left justify my columns in Excel programmatically in VB? I have a VB program that is writing an excel file based off of certain information. I have tried using:
oSheet.Columns.HorizontalAlignment.Left()
This works against columns with text. I have multiple columns that are strictly numbers. This function will not work against columns with Numeric Cells.
Below is the MissingMemberException I keep getting:
I've been googling, testing, etc for a couple hours and I'm right where I started off. the vb.net tab control sucks... Does anyone have an tips or code to make it so when I select a tab the font color changes OR it just makes the tab heading text bold?I've messed around with the draw commands and while that does work, it draws the borders/backgrounds so they are very old / outdated looking.This is basically for a simple tab text editor I'm working on when a textbox in the control changes I can update the associated tab with either a red font or just bold it to indicate the textbox on that tab is modified. I've definitely be open for alternative tab controls as long as they are free and come with a vb.net example :)
How do I combine fontstyle.bold with fontstyle.Italic? I tried simply adding them together but no go. Dim MyFont as New Font ("courier new",12,FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic) Evidently font styles are not constants.

I have treeview in which for some of the treenodes I have to set the font selected by user. The font gets applied correctly, but the text is not displayed properly.

I am using old good RichEdit control with last version of VB.NET. I want to set font attributes for text which will be typed from now and then. So, RichEdit.Font and RichEdit.SelectedFont are not an options. What should be the correct approach?
