Rich TextBox Font ???
Can anyone help me, I don't know how to use a rich text box. I only want to display text in different fonts, but I have no clue how???

Rich Textbox Font Color
I made a chat window for my chat program that when it loads up, it's
rich textbox color alway reverts back to black.

What the chat form does is when you click on the send button, the
message is sent and then the form is unloaded. I have public variables
in place to hold all the font properties. When the user sends a message
back, the chat form or message box loads back up, displaying the new
message. In the form load event, the font properties are reloaded with
the values already held in the public font variables and everything works
except for the font color.

My problem is that even if i have my font color set to red, when the form
loads back up, the rich textbox font color always goes back to black.

I've heard and experienced myself that the rich textbox has flaws in it.
For instance, if the font color is set to red and i change the font bold
property, the font color goes back to black.

I was just wondering if there is a way to subclass the rich textbox to
get it's font color property instead of the Selcolor property.

I noticed the rich textbox has font.bold, font.italic, font.underline and
font.size properties but not font.color. I wonder why?

Rich TextBox (Khmer Font)

Set Font Size On Rich TextBox
When I set font size of text on a Rich TextBox (txtMainScreen), the actual font size was different form what I want it be. My code looks like this:
Code:
Dim tmp As Single
    txtMainScreen.Font.Name = "courier new"
    tmp = 16
    frmMainForm.Font.Size = tmp
                txtMainScreen.Font.Size = frmMainForm.Font.Size
'check out for the result
    sbrStatus.Panels("Check") = Str(tmp) + Str(frmMainForm.Font.Size) + Str(txtMainScreen.Font.Size)
'then, the result is:
    Str(tmp)=16
    Str(frmMainForm.Font.Size)=15.75
    Str(txtMainScreen.Font.Size)=15.75
'if tmp=15, then
'    Str(tmp)=    Str(frmMainForm.Font.Size)=Str(txtMainScreen.Font.Size)=15

Is there anyone help me to solve the problem? Thanks!

Rich Textbox - Making A Given Line The Top Line Displayed
This is the short-and-sweet version of a question I posted earlier. Is there a way to make a given line in the rich textbox the first line displayed? (For example, if I want to display line #53 as the top line, is there a combination of methods/properties I can use to do this? I can't find any obvious technique.)

Changing Cursor Location In Rich Textbox
Dear All,

I have developed a spell checker. When user mis-spells a word, the fore color of that word changes to red. Now, when user "left click" on that mis-spelled word, a pop up menu appears having suggestions for the mis-spelled word( same as that of MS-Word).

Problem:
I want to implement the functionality on mouse "Right Click". But the problem is that if cursor is on third word and user right clicks on 8th word, i can't get on what word he has clicked.

My code wors fine for left click because i have used: txtSpellCheck.SelStart which gives me the cursor position. But with right click of mouse I am unable to get cursor position using txtSpellCheck.SelStart.

Can u help and guide...?

TextBox-Changing Font And Style Of Partial Text
Hi everyone, I have the following issue
I would like to select a determined string in a text box, and change the different properties of a text such as the font, size and style.

Could you help me with this issue.

Thanks in advance for your support folks

How To Give Option Of Changing Font Of Textbox At Runtime?
Hi! every body

I'm trying to give my user the freedom to select a font from a file list box containing fonts from C:WindowsFonts folder. I want the user to select the font type, font size, Bold, Italic & Underline options in the textbox at runtime.

I tried to capture the filename and putting it as:

''' Getting the file name stored in a variable on click of FileListBox
Private Sub FontFile_Click()
    strFont = FontFile.FileName
End Sub

'''Setting the font of textbox
Private Sub cmdLength_Click()
    strFont = Mid(FontFile.FileName, 1, InStr(1, FontFile.FileName, ".") - 1)
    txtMatter.FontName = strFont
    txtMatter.FontItalic = True
    txtMatter.FontBold = True
End Sub

This worked with fonts showing their full name in the FileListBox but gives an error on selecting any other font.

Hope u guys will be able to sort this out.

Thanks!

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.

Adding Text To Rich Textbox Without Changing Format Of Existing Text?
Hello all. This is my first time working with RTB's, and I'm having a little trouble getting started. I'm sure it's some little problem of syntax/semantics, but I can't figure it out. A little help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a RTB to which I am trying to add texts of different formats. When I add each string, the entire box text takes the most current format. This makes perfect sense to me, as I am essentially rewriting the ENTIRE textbox (I am using the ".Text = .Text & "NEWTEXT" format that I am accustomed to using for textboxes.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

VB Code:
'1. Create a new form.'2. Add a button named butGo.'3. Add a RTB named rtbText.'4. Cut & Paste the procedure below. Private Sub butGo_Click()Static Counter As IntegerCounter = Counter + 1With rtbText Select Case Counter Case 1: .Font.Size = 16 .Font.Bold = True .Text = .Text & "This is a test..." Case 2: .Font.Size = 12 .Font.Bold = False .Text = .Text & "This is only a test!" Case 3: .Font.Size = 6 .Font.Italic = True .Text = .Text & " Can you see me?" End SelectEnd WithEnd Sub

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.
