Changing Font Size For Printer Object
Does anyone know how to change font size in using the Printer object? I have 2 applications, one as a DOS-based Clipper application, the other was the same application but created in VB 6.0. The reports for both applications are printed in a dot-matrix printer. When I print my reports in VB using the Printer.Print command, I get smaller fonts, therefore, more lines are printed on a page when compared to the output of my DOS application. Thanks in advance.

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.

Form Caption Font Size
Hi,
Is it possible to alter the caption font size on a form.

Resizing A Form As System Font Size Changes
Hi,

I have an application that I set the form size to (in code) based on the size of a picture object that I display in the form. The form surrounds the picture box with no spacing. I allow the user to resize the picture to small, medium, or large from the menus. When resizing, the code updates the form size to conform to the border of the picture box. I must be able to determine and set the size of the form inside the code.

The problem occurs when the user changes the system Font size to anything except normal, or has the new XP look eneabled. When a user makes one of these changes the picture in my form gets chopped off at the bottom, because the menu bar size changes, etc which shifts the picture box down inside the form.

How can I determine the correct sizing of the form, so that the form always encloses the picture box no matter what size fonts are displayed or look the user chooses?

Thanks,

Mark

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!

PictureBox Size Change With Form Size [Solved]
I have a toolbar and a statusbar on my form, i want the size of the picturebox to follow the size of the form. So this is my code

Code:
Private Sub Form_Resize()

If Me.WindowState <> 1 Then 'not minimized
    On Error Resume Next


    Picture1.Top = Toolbar1.Top + Toolbar1.Height

    Picture1.Left = 0

    Picture1.Width = StatusBar1.Width

    Picture1.Height = StatusBar1.Top - (Toolbar1.Top + Toolbar1.Height)


End If

End Sub

This works perfect if the window state is 0 (normal) if it is maximized the size of the picturebox is the same as it was before i maximized.

Below is the testcode

Font Size
I have had some really annoying problems with the font size options available in the Display options. Two of my games work in different ways and it isn't making sense. I made a pong game and it only runs correctly using large font. The collisions won't work otherwise. I am working on a raycasting engine. That only works in small font. Can anyone tell me why font size would have any effect on my games. It has nothing to do with resolution from what I can tell.

Size Of Font
Although this is for use in a DirectX application, I feel it doesn't apply to the DirectX forum because it's more of a general programming tip.

I'm trying to write a routine that will draw a line of text (monospaced font, variable size of letters, variable size of font) in the center of the screen. I tried using the algorithm Middle of screen - Font Size * Letters / 2, but the word always gets misplaced because it turns out that the length in pixes of letters in a font are much smaller than their pt. size.

The question is: Is there a way to accurately measure the length of a word you'll be printing on the screen (In monospaced font)?

Font Size
Greetings, all and happy new year. I find it interesting that as soon as I return to the (great new layout) forum, the current topic seems to be RTB's. My question is similar, but I don't think needs an RTB. I just want to display a label at the top of my form whose font size is 28 or 30. Is there an easy way to change this so I can see it on my form at design time? If not, do I have to use a RTB or can I just assign the label a size such as form.selfontsize = 30
Thx in advance!!

Font Size
I think that it is possible. Cause if you have a scroll mouse. You can hold the ctrl key and scroll in IE and it makes the images and fonts bigger or smaller. So yes i do think it's possible. How to get started? I do not know.

What Is The Font Size???
I am working with an RTB control,

Does anyone know how to get the current font size using an API? or a means other than rtb.selfontsize?

rtb.selfontsize only contains font size AFTER the character was typed or cursor moved. I need to know the fontsize BEFORE the user types, so if the fontsize changes, before the user types...i want to know what the font size is.

Min Font Size?

Font Size
Hello,

I have a control that has font property.

I need to get the Font height in pixels. I remember that there were some way to do that but cannot remeber the function.

Thanks in advance.

Twips, DPI, & Font Size...
I personally got VERY tired of messing with the problem of my forms and their controls not displaying properly on computer systems with different "Font Size" or DPI settings. Instead of purchasing a 3rd-party ActiveX control to do this for me, I created my own function.... here it is, and I've tested it extensively on ALL components for a "VB Enterprise Edition Controls" and "Standard EXE" projects. The ONLY thing this doesn't resize is the caption bar and caption bar text, which will offset the form height by a few pixels. Other than that (very small issue), it works great! Here's a copy of the code for all of you looking for a solution to this nightmare also:

Code:
Option Explicit
'----------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()

SetForm (15) 'Call the function with the original twips-per-pixel value

End Sub
'----------------------------------------------------
Private Function SetForm(Lng_OriginalDPI As Long)

Dim Sng_X As Single
Dim Sng_Y As Single
Dim Udt_Control As Control

On Error GoTo NoProperty 'Error called when a control does not
'support a property or method

'Calculate new x,y coordinates for controls and font sizes
Sng_X = Screen.TwipsPerPixelX / Lng_OriginalDPI
Sng_Y = Screen.TwipsPerPixelY / Lng_OriginalDPI

'Resize x,y property values & font sizes accordingly on main form
Me.Width = Me.Width * Sng_X
Me.Height = Me.Height * Sng_Y
Me.FontSize = Me.FontSize * Sng_X

'Resize x,y property values & font sizes accordingly to each control
'on the form
For Each Udt_Control In Me.Controls
Udt_Control.X1 = Udt_Control.X1 * Sng_X
Udt_Control.Y1 = Udt_Control.Y1 * Sng_Y
Udt_Control.X2 = Udt_Control.X2 * Sng_X
Udt_Control.Y2 = Udt_Control.Y2 * Sng_Y
Udt_Control.Left = Udt_Control.Left * Sng_X
Udt_Control.Top = Udt_Control.Top * Sng_Y
Udt_Control.Width = Udt_Control.Width * Sng_X
Udt_Control.Height = Udt_Control.Height * Sng_Y
Udt_Control.FontSize = Udt_Control.FontSize * Sng_X
Next

Exit Function

NoProperty:

If Err.Number = 438 Then 'Does not support current property or method
Resume Next 'Continue to the next statement
End If

End Function

Problem With Font Size

Font Size Different On Different Machines
Why with two machines set to the same screen resolution and small fonts, does the text appear larger on one machine? This is causing some of the label and caption text for some of the controls to be cut off.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Size, Colour & Font
I read a thread the other day but I can't find it now.
It was talking about how to send a code with some text that would be string manipulated the other end and used to colour the text.

The way suggested to do this was to make for instance...

00 = vbRed
01 = vbBlue
02 = vbBlack
03 = vbGreen
etc...

The question I'm asking is simple... how/where would I declare these ?
as Public Declares ?
Or in the Send Button and then again in the DataArrival Event to decode it ?

(Posted here because even though I'm using this for a Winsock based program, the actual question is only to do with a general subject)

Minimum Font Size
I understand that that if one has to use the properties window to alter the font size then the minimum size it can go is 8. In addition, from the properties windows I have tried and it seems that you cant get the font size of the odd number like 9, 11 and so forth. Here are my two questions.
1. How can we get the font size of less than 8, say 6.
2. How can we get the odd font size

I have tried from the properties window but it doesnt do it.
Thanks
Thobias.
