I am using the following coding to send text (string variable) to a text file (notepad.exe) and to a RichTextBox on a Dialog form.
Private Sub OutputToScreen(ByRef AnyString As String)
Dialog1.RichTextBox.Text &= AnyString + vbCrLf
End Sub
However, I have the following issue. After subroutine is completed, the text file (notepad.exe ) is formatted successfully. But the output on RichTextBox is not formatted successfully (Please see screenshots below).
Any suggestions to define / setup this properly for RichTextBox?
Notepad Screenshot - Result: Output is OK!
RichTextBox on Dialog Form Screenshot - Result: Output is NOT OK.
You are using a variable-width font in your RTB while Notepad is using a fixed-width font. Change the font and it will look the same.
Is it possible to add line breaks to a Microsoft Access cell? If I want to save some text like this:
"text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text
text text text text text text"
Would it be possible? Or can it only be saved as one line?
You can certainly add line breaks in Microsoft Access.
To add a line break in a text box, use Ctrl + Enter.
To add a line break using SQL, add the Chr function:
INSERT Into MyTable(MyTextField)
SELECT "text text text text text text text" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) &
"text text text text text text text" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) &
" text text text text text text"
Chr(10) is the line feed character. Chr(13) is the carriage return character. Generally, in Windows, you make a new line by using a character return and a line feed (like you would in a type machine), but some operating systems use one (see this answer for more details).
I need to replace a specific string in a MS Word with text of Rich Text Box. I have achieved my that using the following code.
objDoc.Content.Find.Execute(FindText:="Comments1", _
ReplaceWith:=COMMENTS.Text, _
Replace:=Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll)
But, What my actual requirement is.. I want to replace it by exact text of rich text box with alignment.
For example :
Kindly add the title to you article,
Kindly add the abstract to your article
the above text is the content of rich text box.
But, in my word document it replaced as
Kindly add the title to you article, 2. Kindly add the abstract to your article
Have you noticed that ? After the 1st point I have hit enter key and then only I have give 2nd point.
But, resultant text are concatenated with the 1st point.
So, what to do to get exact text with alignment of rich text box in my word document.
I seem to recall something about Rich Text Box using vbLf for line feeds instead of vbCrLf, which I believe is what MS Word would expect to be used for a line feed. You might try something like this (air code):
objDoc.Content.Find.Execute(FindText:="Comments1", _
ReplaceWith:=COMMENTS.Text.Replace(vbLf, vbCrLf), _
Replace:=Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll)
I am displaying Checkboxes in report viewer using this line:
=IIf( Fields!Field1.Value, Chr(254), Chr(168))
But when I convert it in PDF, the checkboxes that are Checked are not displaying in the PDF.
Did anyone solve it?
I use Wingdings font because other fonts are not supported for example Wingdings2 after install app.
Thanks a lot.
Apparently this is a common problem and is being fixed in the next release.
Perhaps you could use √ (221A in Unicode Hex) as a workaround.

I am using this piece of code to render to PDF from RDLC.
var bytes = reportViewer.LocalReport.Render(
_reportRenderFormat, _deviceInfo, out mimeType, out encoding, out filenameExtension,
out streamids, out warnings);
A sure way to get the checkboxes shown is to go to Placeholder properties in the textbox and select HTML- Interpret HTML tags as styles.
Then, for checked checkbox use this Expression:
="<font face=""Wingdings 2"" color=""green"">" & Chr(81) &"</font>" & "some other text"
For unchecked use this expression
="<font face=""Wingdings 2"" color=""red"">" & Chr(163) &"</font>" & "some other text"
Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to display the ▼ character properly in a .NET winform application.
I am creating a custom control, and for the button, I want this character to appear. I am able to set the text to this character, but it appears as a blank square.
Any ideas on what I need to do to make this character appear properly on my forms?
I am using Arial font, which is compatible with this symbol.
EDIT: It is currently being set as follows:
btnCalendarToggle.Text = "▼" 'Yes, it appears exactly like this in my code
More information on the character can be found here:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/25bc/index.htm
EDIT2: I tried adding some other Unicode characters, and got the following message:
"Some Unicode Characters in this file
cannot be saved in the current
codepage. Do you want to resave this
file as Unicode in order to Maintain
your data?"
After clicking YES on this message, it still didn't work. It appears that the encoding method may be wrong for the file... I don't know what to set it to. Has anyone else tried to display this character in a winform before?
There can often be issues (both with source control systes and diff tools) if you embed more complex unicode characters in source files.
It is often better to do it via an explicit escape sequence and keep the source file in a simpler encoding.
btnCalendarToggle.Text = "\u25BC";
If this works it is likely that the problem is instead the encoding settings for the source file.
Are you certain however that the font in question is Arial (try debugging and checking) since regardless of the above mentioned issues so long as the encoding is set to a legitimate Unicode one (and Visual Studio will convert the file for you if you embed such a character in it) this should have worked.
Can you post the code you are currently using ?
You can print out characters using the chr(int) function if you know the character code.
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 255
txtTest.Text = txtTest.Text & Chr(i) & " -- " & i.ToString() & Environment.NewLine
Next i
Try that and see if your character prints out.
