Change Font Size
Is it possible to change the font or font size of the VB IDE?
I.e. I want to lower the font size of the code editor so I can see more code on my screen at once. Hopefully, without changing my screen resolution.
TIA.

Change Font Size In RTB, But Not All Of It!
I have the code below to change the size of the selected font in a RichTextBox.
If the user selects a different size font part way through using the RTB, how do I get the text from that point on to be the newly selected size?
I have a combobox with the sizes available for the font.
Code:
Private Sub cmbFontSize_Click()
On Error GoTo ErrTrap
If Len(rtbNotes.SelText) > 0 Then
rtbNotes.SelFontSize = cmbFontSize.List(cmbFontSize.ListIndex)
rtbNotes.SetFocus
Else
''rtbNotes.SelFontSize = cmbFontSize.List(cmbFontSize.ListIndex)
End If
Exit Sub
How To Change Font And Size On Runtime

Change Font Size In A RichTextBox
Is there a simple command to change the font size of all the text in a RichTextBox. The only method that I have found so far is
RichTextBox1.SelStart = 0
RichTextBox1.SelLength = Len(RichTextBox1)
RichTextBox1.SelFontSize = 14
RichTextBox1.SelStart = 0
It works but highlights all the text first, then changes the font size and finally restores the cursor to the start of the text.
RichTextBox1.Font.Size = 14 only changes the first bit of text.

Subclassing A Combobox To Change The Font Size
I've been working on a problem that I describe in this thread and have come to the conclusion that the solution will probably require subclassing the combobox.
What I would like to end up with is something that looks like this when dropped down:
Code:
Topic 1
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
...
Topic 2
...
I've taken a look at the examples in the code library and tutors corner about subclassing and, while I'm still new at it, I get the concept at least.
I have two questions about the subject however. First, what API would I be using to set the font size and weight (how bold it is)? CreateFont?
Second, and probably more importantly, what steps would be involved in drawing the text to the combobox? For instance, would I have to do something to the rectangle that holds each entry in the combobox and, if so, could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your help.

How To Change Font Size On A Single Line
I am using Vb6's standard print object and would like to know how to change the font size in a line of print.
I need to print "123 Welcome 123", on the first line of a page and would like the "123's" to be in a different font size than the "Welcome"

printer.font.size = 20

printer.enddoc
The result is: 123False WelecomeFalse 123 all at size=20, but properly tabed.
I have looked at using the richtextbox also but the code for a WYSISWYG does not appear to be a simple undertaking.

Change Font Size Based On Length Of Text
i want it so that when someone enters something into a text box and push a button the font size of the text is decreased until the whole string is in the textbox and not going outside it.
so say someone enters into a text box "hello my name is blah blah blah"
not all of it will be visible because it goes beyond the length of the text box. i want the program to decrease the size of the text "hello my name is blah blah blah" until it fits into the text box. anyone help me out here ?
Change ListBox Width Based On Font Size
I have a ListBox displaying all ASCII characters. I let the user select the font size for the list box, but I would like to width of the ListBox to change based on that font size.
I thought of a cool way to find the width of the widest character in the font:
Have a label named Label1 on the page
VB Code:
... Label1.AutoSize = True widest = 0 For i = 33 to 255 Label1.Caption = Chr(i) If Label1.Width > widest Then widest = Label1.Width End If Next i ...
EDIT: Submitted too early on accident
Then you could set the width of the ListBox to widest.
Anyway, some characters in Wingdings and such are VERY wide. So I'm not sure that I want the width to compensate for the widest one. I would perfer to make the width of the ListBox based on an average character. I am affraid to just grab the width of a random character using the method above, because it might be too small or too big.
Unless there is a good formula I could use to calculate average character width based just on font size I need a way to get the width of an average character. Any ideas?
How Can I Auto Change Font Size On Drag And Drop To RTB
Greetings
I need a quick solution in correcting someone else's work.
I have a form with two listboxes and a RTB. The font is size 8 and bold in listbox1. It's size 10 and Italic in listbox2. Unfortunatly, The RTB is auto-saved and printed as a report and there is no opportunity to make the text uniform beforehand. Needless to say, the RTB and the printed report looks like crap.
I would like to be able to make the text automatically uniform when the drag is dropped into the RTB. At one point last night, I had it where it would correct before it saved, but even that doesn't work now.
What I really want is to correct this when it GOES INTO the RTB so that it doesn't look so crappy on screen.
Any help is appreciated.

Printer Font Size Vs Picturebox/form/font Size
HI Everibody.
Sorry for my bad English
Why the printer object font size is different as in Picturebox or form font size property?
I copyied in a PictureBox all the properties availabe in the printer object (width, height, scalemode, scalewidth, etc, etc) to simulate a printer object, but the font size in the picturebox is always greater therefore printer.currentX & Y does not match picture1.currentX & Y
Now, how can I configure a picturebox that matches perfectly the printer proportion? I need it to make Preview routine
How can I caculate the correct scale for Picture1?
Change The Desktop Font Size (normal, Large, Extra Large)
Hallo,
I’m writing a little application that has to change the screen appearance font size (normal large and extra large) at run-time.
I have already read several posts about how to get the DPI setting back or change it. The problem is how to propagate this change to the system.

WPARAM affects only the Desktop Icons. The taskbar and start menu are not affected.
Code:

0&, _
SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG, _
10000&,

Detecting The Current Font And Font Size On Various Lines In A Rich Text Box.
I have written an editor that uses a rich text box as the main text area.
The editor allows the user to select a font and font size on the toolbar.
My question is, how does one get the combo box text (for both the font and font size) to display the font or font size for the current line of the current character location?
Meaning, if I were to type in two lines, the first line being Arial 12pt, and the second line being Tahoma 14pt, how would I get the program to display the font and font size in the combo boxes?
I know about SelFont, SelStart and such, but I am not selecting any text. I am merely moving the cursor up or down and need to be able to display the font and font size for where the cursor currently is.
Anyone have any ideas?
I thank you in advance.
Detecting Font And Font Size On Various Lines In A Rich Text Box.
I have written a basic editor that uses fonts and such, however when I select a different line (while entering text into the text area of the rich text box), it doesn't display the font or font size for that particular location.
Does anyone have any ideas where I can look to solve this problem?
I thank you in advance for any information you may be able to share with me.
How To Get The Font Name And Font Size Of Header/footer Text?
Hi Everybody
Simple question.
In one of my procedures, I write the VBA Excel code set the text for headers and footer specifying the font name and font size (code line shown below in part).
Code:
'...
'...
'worksheetName has been previously defined to contain the
'name of the worksheet being handled
fullFilename = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
footerText = fullFilename & "[" & worksheetName & "]"
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftFooter = "&""Times New Roman,Regular""&06" & footerText
End With
'...
'...
However, when I try to read the same (header/footer text) using code and assign it to a string variable, it actually includes the VBA code referring to the font name and font size as well. This is what I get (the contents of the string variable is shown below).
&"Times New Roman,Regular"&06H:MSOFFICEMY DOCUMENTSCombined National Monthly ReportTest11.xls[SBU - East]
Have a look at all the text prior to "H:..."
But when you see the header/footer content in pagesetup -> headers/footers, you only see the actual text viz :-
"H:MSOFFICEMY DOCUMENTSCombined National Monthly ReportTest11.xls[SBU - East]"
Is there a way to read this actual text only in to a string variable?
Best regards

Retain Font Styles When Changing Font Size
March 25, 2008
Re: VB6
Hello, everyone. I searched for over two hours for an answer but didn't find a relevant forum example. I am using a richtextbox for my documentation. I made several simple font features such as font sizes and font styles (bold and underline) to the richtextbox. The problem I have is that after I bolded and underlined some of my document text, if I change my document to a different font size, any text that have been bolded or underlined will be undone, so I have to highlight them and bold or underline them again. Does anyone have any advice or any example code to correct it?
The following is a fragment of code in selecting for fontbold and for changing font size:
If Len(Trim(RichTextBox1.SelText)) > 0 Then' For selecting text
RichTextBox1.SelFontSize = 14
End If
RichTextBox1.SelBold = Not (RichTextBox1.SelBold)' For selecting text for bold
RichTextBox1.Font.Size = 14 ' Font size to the whole document or richtextbox
Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated.

Font Type && Font Size
Hi,
I was wondering what font type and font size you usually use in your vb projects.
What font size is too small, and what size is too big?
Do you use different fonts in your project? or maybe different font sizes?
As you noticed my question is some kind of a poll, I hope there will be much replies.
Thank you for your time!

CommonDialog Box Font Box - Font Doesn't Change
Hi,
I'm using the ShowFont feature of CommonDialog in VB 6.
I have a Rich text box called RTB1
With comDlg1
.DialogTitle = "Font" 'set the dialog title
.Flags = cdlCFBoth
.ShowFont
End With
RTB1.SelFontName = comDlg1.FontName
RTB1.SelFontSize = comDlg1.FontSize
RTB1.SelBold = comDlg1.FontBold
RTB1.SelItalic = comDlg1.FontItalic
RTB1.SelStrikeThru = comDlg1.FontStrikethru
RTB1.SelUnderline = comDlg1.FontUnderline
When I select a font from the box and hit ok - I don't see the font change in the Rich Text Box (for e.g, the font size) .. I step through the code and the .SetFontName , .SelFontSize etc properties of the Rich Text box are getting set from comDlg1 ... but there're no visible changes to the font..
Appreciate any help - thanks.
