Way To Set Label Font Settings

Sep 2, 2009

I would like to know if there is a way to set the Label Font Settings of VB 2008 to the Font I always use instead of the one that Visual Basic wants to use. I would to always use Arial Font, Bold set at 10, for my default setting, but cannot find where I can set this.Can this be done or am I out of luck and am stuck with the M<icrosoft Sans Serif 8 point?

Add Font From Fontdialog To Label Then From Label To Textbox As Font?

Jul 17, 2009

i am trying to get the font from a label's text to be read into the text.. i can add the font to the label with this code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim myfontdialog As New FontDialog
With myfontdialog

[code]....

but reading it from the label and setting the font to the textbox, is the problem i am facing. i know the code does not read the font as it is displayed in the label's text, so it might be possible to just get the font name in one label, and font size in another, just by locating those two. this i have an idea how to do, just do not know how... if you have a solution on how to locate these two, and add them separately.. getting the font to the label this way, does not show the option of the selection for the font style.. i have tried using my.settings to do so, problem there as well.. basically, i want to be able to save the font selected, and next time the app loads, it loads with those those settings.

i like: VB General google fast cars username password

Forms :: My.settings Save Only Font Name Not Size?

Nov 20, 2010

I have a question how can I save in My.Settings only the font name and not the size.I have a form where I can change the font for a label on another form. This works perfect.I can even save it in my.settings.

The thing is though, that on that other form I have 2 labels, thet should have the same font name, but the size should be different. (label1 has font size = 40 (can be changed) and label2 should have a fixed font size (should not be changed)).I tried to use label2.font.size = "14", but font.size is readonly.

Large Font Settings - Some Button's Text Changes Size And Some Don't

Dec 16, 2009

Within our application, some of the object's text are effected by users with "Large font" turned on under Control Panel>>Graphic Properties. I can't determine what is the trigger to this behavior. I have many forms including TableLayoutPanels, ComponentOne Sizers, some objects with DOCK=Fill, and AUTOSIZE=TRUE. I wrote a simple Hello World form, and it is not impacted by the "large font" setting.

VS 2005 - Font Change Within Label

Mar 24, 2009

A co-worker is having a problem trying to display the time in a label. He wants the AM/PM to display smaller than the time numerals. Neither of us knows of any way to change the font size within the same label, so we tried using two labels. That works for the different sizes, but we can't seem to get the appearance to 'flow' correctly without overlapping the labels, and then part of the text gets cut off.

We tried setting the padding to 0, but that still leaves a noticeable gap. We tried setting the background of the front label to transparent, but that didn't work for some reason. The left label (time) in right-aligned and the right label (AM/PM) is left-aligned, and that's as close as we can come.

Any way to either change the font size within one label or to overlap two labels without one obscuring part of the other? Or, maybe, a way to create a label so the text actually starts at the very edge of the label? (I'm doubting this last-I suspect the problem is that each character is defined, by the font, as occupying a 'block' of space.)

Change Font Size For Label According To Text

Jul 27, 2009

I had an old program that I upgraded from VB6 to VB 2008. I am creating a program similar to it in VB 2008. There is a piece of code that I tried to enter into the program I am creating now from my old program. It tells the computer that if the label's text is a certain text that is on the clipboard, then the text size will be smaller.

If
LabelAbsent.Text = My.Computer.Clipboard.GetText Then
Label104.Font = VB6.FontChangeSize(Label10.Font, 8)

When I insert this code into my new program, it doesn't recognize the "VB6" in the code.
How can I get the same result in the program I am currently creating?

Change Font Size Of Label During Runtime

Aug 23, 2009

I have a form with some labels. If the labels equal certain text, then I want the font size of the label to change.For example, if the text reads "apple",I want the font size of the label to be 16.If the text reads "banana", I want the font size of the label to be 8.This has to occur during runtime without any clicking of the label.I have an idea of the code I want to write in order for this to work, but I need to know where to put the code for the labels.I cannot put this under Label_Click or Form_Load.Where can I put this code so that it works for the labels during runtime?

Compose And Apply A Font To A Label In Runtime?

Aug 29, 2009

I'm developing a Windows Forms Application in Visual Basic .NET with Visual Studio 2008.

I'm trying to compose fonts (Family name, font size, and the styles) at runtime, based on user preferences, and apply them to labels.

For the sake of both a simplier user interface, and compatibility between more than one machine requiring to use the same font, I'll NOT use the InstalledFontCollection, but a set of buttons that will set few selected fonts, that I know to be present in all machines (fonts like Verdana).

So, I have to make a Public Sub on a Module that will create fonts, but I don't know how to code that. There are also four CheckBoxes that set the styles, Bold, Italic, Underline and Strikeout.

How should I code this? The SomeLabel.Font.Bold property is readonly, and there seems to be a problem when converting a string like "Times New Roman" to a FontFamily type. (It just says it could not do it)

Like on

Dim NewFontFamily As FontFamily = "Times New Roman"

VS 2005 Label Font Changes On Form Load?

Mar 6, 2010

I have set my forms font as "Segoe UI, 14.25pt" and have just placed an single label on the form.

Upon placing the label by default it gets the forms font i.e Segoe UI, 14.25pt

i have placed the following code on the labels textchange event

Private Sub Label1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.TextChanged
Dim f As New Font(Me.Label1.Font, FontStyle.Italic)
Label1.Font = f
MessageBox.Show(Label1.Font.Name)
End Sub

Now when the form is loaded , i get a message box showing the labels font name as "Microsoft Sans Serif"

The labels font size also changes to 8 but it is italic.

Why is this happening? And why does the textchange event occur on the form load?
